TOC Americas & CSC Live Agendas

Conference / 2025 Agenda

‘CONFLICT, COMMERCE & (DIS)CONNECTIVITY… Where is the growth?’

Amid a 2026 shaped by geopolitics and regional elections across the Americas, the ripple effects on global trade, port operations, shipping services and supply chains remain profound. Building on 2025’s focus—trade, tariffs and tensions: how do we move forward?—the sector continues to navigate elevated uncertainty while advancing resilience, reliability and the continuity of cargo flows. This year’s CSC LIVE editorial theme, COMMERCE, CONFLICT & (DIS)CONNECTIVITY… Where is the growth?, frames three days of analysis and debate as leading voices from every layer of the cargo supply chain explore practical pathways to sustainable expansion.
