TPM27 brings together the largest array of major players across global containerized supply chains in one place, combining best-in-class market insights with deep operations know-how. Attendees leave reenergized with solutions to challenges in freight transportation and trade compliance. They also get an unrivaled opportunity to benchmark themselves against the single largest gathering of beneficial cargo owners in the world.

In 2027, the shipping industry finds itself whiplashed by trade policy; besieged by rising costs, from labor to fuel; and eyeing massive container tonnage overcapacity in the next two years. Industry relationships built on information and trust, not just price, matter even more. 

Ensuring that the questions the industry needs to be asked are asked, the program is created with complete independence by the editorial team at the Journal of Commerce, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year.  

Key themes this year:

  • Navigating fast-changing regulatory scrutiny on trade
  • Managing a persistent level of ocean shipping unpredictability
  • Building a best-in-class service contract and year-round monitoring process
  • Putting AI to work now
