Panelists will discuss emerging trends in the Caribbean and strategies that mainland shippers and carriers can use to capitalize on those trends. Additional discussion points for the panel will include the near and long-term prospects for economic recovery in Puerto Rico, the long-term potential of Cuba and other Caribbean nations, and related topics of importance to shippers and ocean carriers in this trade lane.
Logistics Perspective on the Caribbean is part of a series of panel discussions and keynote presentations at the conference. While the focus of the conference will be on challenges and benefits facing shippers through southern ports, speakers from around the country will discuss issues common to all logistics and intermodal decision makers. The panelists will include senior executives from major ocean carriers, railroads, shippers and service providers.

The three-day event includes:
- Opening reception on the evening of March 23
