The 9th annual Port of New York-New Jersey Port Industry Day will be held on Monday, October 26, at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
The focus of this year's conference is how the Port is COMPETING FOR CARGO not only in today's market but also in anticipation of the expected increase in cargo which will come about after the Panama Canal expansion is completed in 2014. Everyone who has a stake in international trade and commerce should plan to attend this important event. Among the topics to be discussed are infrastructure enhancements, terminal investments, harbor trucking, navigational issues and goods movement initiatives.
Congressman Jerry Nadler will be the welcoming speaker.
Port Industry Day will begin at 8 AM with a continental breakfast on the Intrepid's hangar deck. At 9 AM, the business program will begin. The half-day session will conclude at approximately 12:30 and will be followed by a festive luncheon and networking opportunity. The remainder of the afternoon will be devoted to touring the Intrepid and seeing its exciting sea, air and space exhibits.
The Intrepid will be closed to the public all day for the exclusive use of Port Industry Day attendees. This is a unique opportunity for our maritime and transportation industry.
