Two weeks ago, the President of the Connecticut Maritime Association (CMA), Joe Gross of D’Amico, reached out to explore ways in which SHIPPINGInsight and CMA could collaborate on holding consecutive events in October, as it had become clear to them that CMA Shipping would have to move to the fall due to safety concerns surrounding COVID-19.
What we focused on was what would be best for the industry writ large and the importance that our community be safe during this pandemic. We also discussed how our relationship-driven industry thrives on the personal connection and trust built through face-to-face interactions. Both organizations deliver quality programs that have distinct goals: SHIPPINGInsight 20/20 focuses on technology and innovation with CMA Shipping putting the emphasis on commercial engagement.
We are pleased to announce our agreement to hold the first North American Shipping Week with SHIPPINGInsight 20/20- A Vision for the Decade leading off on Monday, October 12th at the Hyatt Regency through lunch on Wednesday October 14th. CMA Shipping will commence at 2:00 at the Stamford Hilton (less than two miles away) and continue through Friday, culminating with the Commodore’s Dinner celebrating International Seaway’s Lois Zabrocky (many of you will remember Lois as SHIPPINGInsight’s opening keynote at last year’s event).
SHIPPINGInsight is committed to our industry community. We will be providing you with the most optimal platform for delivering quality content and working together to improve our great industry. Our agenda is full of forward-leaning discussion on how shipping can optimize, innovate and thrive delivered by true thought leaders of our industry.
We are strong. We are resilient. We are necessary to global society. We are shipping.
The SHIPPINGInsight team looks forward to welcoming you to North American Shipping Week!
Keep optimizing,
Carleen
