Past event: Cargo Security Summit

Tackling Supply Chain Vulnerabilities with Industry Capabilities & Government Programs

The ultimate goal with cargo security is to guarantee that goods are transported from point A to point B without pause or damage. It intrinsically links the various transportation modes in the supply chain, from intermodal freight to air cargo, in their drive for profitability and efficiency.


This security process involves:

  • Asset Tracking
  • Security Equipment
  • Container and Shipping Locks
  • Canines, Scanners, Cameras, etc
  • IT management systems

In this era of complex global commerce, the decisions set forth by our government undoubtedly impact the commercial supply chain. Accordingly, We bring you the only event in the United States that delivers topical information on cargo security policy, tracking technology and logistics guidance.

Join us today! to learn from industry leaders about their complex supply chains and apply their lessons learned to your own systems. Get front and center with policy officials to understand upcoming changes being planned by the CBP, TSA and other federal agencies that could affect your business – and give them feedback on what industry can accomplish.


Major Topics of Discussion Include:

  • Policy changes set forth by TSA and CBP that affect export/import criteria for shippers and cargo operators: 100% cargo screening, known shippers program, C-TPAT, and the US/EU trade agreement
  • Numerous in-depth case studies that cover: Leading manufacturers supply chain management (commercial and defense), end-to-end shipping processes, and safe methodology from cargo operators
