GLDPartners will be in Toronto in October to participate at the Multimodal Americas/TIACA conference to lead two expert conference sessions that will explore the latest market trends and investment opportunities around inland ports and air cargo.
- Brendan Dugan, GLDPartners Ports and Terminals Projects Leader will manage a high-level panel discussion about how North American inland port strategies are beginning to play important roles in logistics, property and economic development. With experts representing port, railroad, infrastructure/property and shippers (manufacturing and distribution), this session will explore the latest industry and logistics trends that are shaping new opportunities for inland port projects. The session will review examples of how advanced strategies are paying-off and creating major hubs that are helping to shape new logistics efficiencies. The session will also connect the important economic development potential and the role of partnerships with local and state government.
