Description

2022 has brought some supply chain improvements, but little progress has been felt in shipping internationally. While port congestion in LA and Long Beach plagued much of 2021, all major US ports are now seeing both increased volumes and with it, increased delays.

Hear how member companies Sub-Zero Group, Inc. and Promega have navigated these waters (pun intended). Join fellow members in sharing key challenges related to international shipping, and discuss approaches others are taking to improve product flow.

Participate in Customizing the Agenda: You’ll have the opportunity to play an active part in shaping the agenda for this session – and to maximize its relevance for you – by suggesting and selecting topics for break-out discussions. Once the agenda is complete, you choose the discussions you want to join. This will be a highly interactive session so come prepared to share your questions, challenges and insights!
