The Journal of Commerce is reaching out to the automotive community with a special offer to attend its annual TPM (Trans Pacific Maritime) Conference to be held March 4-7 in Long Beach, California.
This is one of the most notable high-powered shipping conferences of the year, according to event organizers, focusing on the education and networking of the entire ocean shipping industry from importers and exporters, known as beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) to ocean carriers, freight forwarders, ports and terminals and customs brokers.
TPM attracts the who’s who of executives up and down the global containerized supply chain. Now in its 18th year, TPM attracts more than 2,300 attendees through a combination of unbiased programming and unmatched networking opportunities.
For the special discounted rate of $950 per registrant (normally $2,095), participants will be able to:
- Engage with container line executives on contract rates
- Learn how to mitigate ocean shipping risk to avoid the next Hanjin
- Discover new technologies aimed at enhanced visibility of container shipments
- Participate in a forum dedicated to addressing supply chain issues in the automotive parts sector
