Strong Ports 2024 Registration

Join FuturePorts on June 21 for our annual Strong Ports = Strong California conference. Our estimated 200 attendees include executives from the ports, trucking, ocean freight, rail, and many other industry sectors. The schedule promises to include robust panel discussions about the future of the goods movement industry. Our esteemed panelists will be discussing how to overcome the uncertainty in the global economy, collaborating with our peers and regulators for successful environmental outcomes, and how to ensure our Southern California ports remain competitive to enhance business and job creation locally.

Panel 1: Getting to Carbon Neutrality - What does the future look like?

Hear from companies pioneering the shift to zero emission operations in ports and transportation. In this panel, we'll separate fact from fiction, showing real world accomplishments to date, as well as previewing the very near term steps that will enable a cleaner future.

Panel 2: Does Goods Movement Policy Match Our Reality?

Learn from policy-makers and advocacy groups about how California can leverage its infrastructure investments to turbo charge economic growth. We'll share the ways California has established itself as a leader in goods movement, and discuss self-inflicted hurdles that could harm the golden goose.

Panel 3: Competitiveness and Costs Being Put on Industry - Who's going to pay for it?

Discover how the costs of greener shipping, shifting labor, and new infrastructure can be shared among constituents in ways that limit damage, and ensure California's position as a leader in global trade. We'll discuss opportunities to navigate a changing economic landscape to find near-cost-parity with other ports.
