It's convention season in North America and for the global shipping industry all transits led to Long Beach this week with a major conference on all things shipping underway.
The TPM 23 conference began on Sunday and will continue through until tomorrow, the event one that features an impressive array of guest speakers and those making keynote addresses through the four days.
The much anticipated event organized with the Journal of Commerce puts the focus on Trans Pacific trade.
The conference was founded in 2001 and ever since has been one of the go to events for those in the global shipping industry.
Over 2400 conference goers are in attendance at the Long Beach event, including representatives from just about every port in North America and beyond.
The theme for this years event is that of "Picking Up the Pieces" that a nod to the many challenges that the global shipping community faced over the last three years with the international supply chain only now starting to find a pre pandemic normalcy.
The topics un for discussion range from logistics, to supply chains, labour issues, global events and the impact on shipping and much much more.
The full agenda can be reviewed here.
The Rupert Port Reception at the event seemingly was a popular destination with a view of the Long Beach Ports providing for the vista from their location.
The focus for the Prince Rupert delegation and its partners at CN Rail and DP World is to highlight the advantages offered through the Prince Rupert Gateway and its reach deep into the heart of the United States.
