Since 2018, St. Louis Regional Freightway has collaborated with the Inland Marine Expo (IMX) to bring hundreds of inland waterway experts and industry leaders to the St. Louis, Mo., region. IMX 2021 will host an in-person conference with COVID-19 protocols in place from May 24 through May 26 in St. Louis. For FreightWeekSTL 2021, the St. Louis Regional Freightway will lead one of the in-person conference sessions and offer a virtual session each day of the week, May 24-28. The panel discussions and keynote presentation will collectively spotlight the latest trends and innovations influencing global freight movement and highlight the unmatched global connectivity of the St. Louis region. Virtual FreightWeekSTL 2021 offers an opportunity to hear from and engage with industry leaders, freight and logistics experts, international shippers, carriers and other leading companies, as well as regional leaders from eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois. "Even though we had to quickly pivot to a fully online format last year due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the third annual FreightWeekSTL was a tremendous success. Some of the most relevant and timely topics in the logistics industry were presented last year," said Mary Lamie, executive vice president of multi-modal enterprises for Bi-State Development, which operates the St. Louis Regional Freightway as one of its enterprises. "We are excited to continue the tradition this year of bringing together forward thinkers engaged in developing the latest innovations that are shaping the future of the freight industry." |
