Must-attend sessions and what they cover

Register for regional congestion session to quantify how southern lane configurations influence charges; you’ll leave with concrete steps to reduce face-to-face bottlenecks and gain faster throughput before peak periods.

What this session covers: improvements in transportation design and systems, featuring Texas-focused case studies from southern corridors; you’ll see how berth, lanes, and demand patterns interact and what results you can apply immediately. This is especially useful for regional planners.

Digital tools for demand forecasting are demonstrated, including dashboards and models that help handle congestion and predict charges; most attendees see a clear result in cycle times. Much value comes from hands-on models.

Hurricanes and resilience: southern ports facing storms; how regional systems adapt; before and after scenarios; what improvements are possible.

Must-attend interactive sessions: registered participants can ask direct questions, see what other teams have done, and borrow templates to accelerate your own design improvements.

Shifts in workflows become visible, and providing practical checklists helps you rank improvements that reduce congestion, cut delays, and lower charges.

Key dates, venues, and registration tips

Recommendation: register by November 10, 2025 to lock charge discounts and secure access for registered attendees from company to multiple sessions across stations, terminals, and regional tracks addressing surge scenarios.

• Dates: 18–20 November 2025; florida regional facility near orlando metro; texas hub in houston metro; schedule runs 9:00 am–5:00 pm daily; wrap session at 3:00 pm on 20 Nov.
• Venues: florida facility cluster in orlando area; houston texas hub; additional stations at regional terminals in florida and texas; on-site and virtual participation options available.
• Registration tips: early-bird charge applies for registered groups from company; rosters must include whos name, role, facility, including email addresses; group discounts: 4+ attendees yield 20% reduction; check-in uses roster data including verified emails; after November 10, price increases for non-registered participants.
• What to prepare: bring project details such as projected volumes and surge expectations; include detention information for shipments; topics cover storm-related disruptions in regional logistics; include carriers and carrier contacts; specify sessions for regional operations, terminals, and stations; note how systems support surge response.
• Specific notes: for texas attendees, confirm attendance category (carrier, facility, or company) to access relevant tracks; florida attendees should plan for possible surge-related delays at Gulf Coast terminals; long detentions in transit can be addressed via Q&A sessions.

Vendor showcases: criteria for quick vetting

Begin quick vetting by classifying vendors into three risk tiers based on shipments history, warehouse footprint, capacity.

Evaluate data accuracy across planning, inventory, and fulfillment records; prioritize partners with stable exposure controls, minimal vulnerable gaps, and documented remediation steps to meet need for speed, based on shipments velocity and fill rates.

Must-have signals include documented design standards, providing clear cargo handling procedures for product flow, and office presence that supports fast decisions.

Scorecard structure assigns weights: capacity (0.25), cargo integrity (0.25), inventory accuracy (0.25), fulfillment reliability (0.25); then apply it to supplier data, according to vendor record checks, three risk indicators matter.

Assign whos responsible: lopez, brashier, dray; each owner will track shipments, planning milestones, and risk signals.

Offer a free, fast vetting checklist usable in office or remote planning; integrate to newsletter for reach across teams.

Storm readiness matters; vendors should demonstrate contingency steps that reduce exposure during disruptions, preserve accuracy in shipments, and maintain fulfillment momentum.

Based on three core signals, aim for optimal outcomes: reduced exposure, faster reach, and controlled risk; ensure shipments keep moving and inventory stays accurate.

What fresh data and forecasts to watch

Recommendation: Monitor three drivers of movement, capacity, disruptions, and shipments, daily; trigger ramp actions when alerts show capacity tightening or detention rising.

June outlook shows capacity pressure climbs in regional hubs; georgia terminals see limited handling slots, affecting truckers and deliveries. If detention climbs, deliveries slip, shipments delayed, and costs spike for your company.

Track spot market movements, platforms usage, and gate releases; ramp changes might push good margins or raise high-risk deals; ready a plan to reroute trucks and bump production capacity when needed.

Platform releases reallocate lanes; then adjust routes to maintain service.

June forecast indicates shipments can be delayed at limited terminals; include impact of detention on delivery times; prepare alternative routes through smaller regional hubs, including georgia routes, to reduce disruptions.

If a deal with truckers or carriers falls through, sent shipments may be delivered late, impacting your property and handling costs. Truckers and company operations should prearrange contingency lanes and keep spare capacity ready.

Actionable takeaways to apply in your ops

Set a 90-day resilience map for shipments that targets vulnerable links and backup routes. Assign a primary and a backup carrier for every critical lane, and demand flexible terms in contracts to switch without penalties when disruptions occur.

Run quarterly rerouting drills along coastal lanes for energy and chemical shipments. Identify which substitutes exist for each origin-destination pair, based on available capacity at alternate terminals; the picked option should be ready within 24 hours.

Maintain a conservative safety stock to cover normal variability; use tech-enabled alerts to trigger rerouting when disruption signals appear, and keep shipping options flexible beyond the primary plan.

Build a lightweight risk taxonomy that maps weakness across routes, with focus on the Georgia terminal, the West Coast hubs, and other coastal corridors; tie this to quarterly reviews of which shipments face higher exposure, including energy and chemical flows.

Assign whos responsible for each lane and specify which needs to be adjusted in contracts to enable rapid rerouting during disruptions.
