| 摘要： | Those attending the Inland Marine Expo, which The Waterways Journal is hosting May 24-26 at the Dome at Ameri-ca's Center in St. Louis, will enjoy a sched-ule packed with speakers showcasing this year's theme of "Rooted and Resilient." The return to an in-person format will allow opportunities for education,networking and visiting vendors' booths,along with the return of the popular Mar-itime Throwdown competition and the IMX awards presentation and party. All events will be conducted with the use of appropriate personal protective equip-ment, social distancing, enhanced sani-tation and other precautions in place to help ensure the safety of all participants:attendees, vendors, sponsors and staff.The opening session will delve into the state of the industry, featuring Ken Eriksen, senior vice president, head of client advisory and development, energy transportation and policy for IHS Markit. As the industry moves forward from a yearlong pandemic that fractured glob-al commodity supply chains, Eriksen will help participants take a look into a future shaped by the vaccine rollout as well as continuing effects on the market. Partici-pants will learn about new opportunities beginning to emerge as well as calculating the impacts on towing companies, ship-pers and the economy.Mary Lamie, executive director of the St. Louis Regional Freightway, will mod-erate a panel discussion on the effect of multi-state agricultural highway corri-dors with global and national connections to the supply chain. Joined by Eriksen,Adam Sparger, director of the Transpor-tation Services division of the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture's Agricultur-al Marketing Service, and Tom Blair, St.Louis district engineer for the Missouri De-partment of Education, they will provide a comprehensive approach to learning about efficiently moving domestic agricultural products and supporting continued market competitiveness by providing global and national connections to the supply chain. |
