Planning Guide November 4 Early Bird Deadline
Welcome On behalf of Informa Global Exhibitions, I am pleased to invite you to Cargo Logistics America Expo & Conference (CLA)! We are assembling the largest and most diverse gathering of stakeholders in American supply chains — all under one roof. Our goal is to connect those that own cargo with those that help move it, while offering two days of unprecedented education and discovery in a flexible format. As the only full-scale multimodal trade show in America, CLA is a hub for people, products, services, and technologies that will help you optimize your air, sea, rail, road cargo logistics, material handling, distribution, and warehousing for any cargo type. As you will see, our exposition floor is a centerpiece, not an afterthought.
Thank You to our Sponsors Pr e s e n t i n g S P o n s o r
Pl at i n u m S P o n s o r
Just like your supply chain, the scope of our educational content is broad. We hope that you will join us for the entire event. However, if your schedule only allows for a session or two, or an hour on the trade show floor, CLA’s à la carte format allows you to attend only what you wish. It’s absolutely free to walk the show floor if you pre-register before November 4. The Cargo Logistics America team is pleased to recognize all supply chain professionals for the role they play in driving the global economy. We extend our gratitude to all of our sponsors, exhibitors, supporting partners, and media for making this event possible. We look forward to seeing you in December!

We are excited to have extended the successful Cargo Logistics brand into the U.S. market, where there has clearly been a vacuum for an all-encompassing showcase like this in the shipping and logistics space — where all supply chains and logistics professionals can assemble in one place. Moreover, we’ll be pleased to welcome you to sunny San Diego in early December, situated in the major Southern California logistics gateway. As you peruse our conference content in this planner, you’ll get a good sense of CLA’s wide-sweeping demographic consisting of cargo owners and the many diverse supply chains that service them.

DC Velocity, the recognized industry leader in North American distribution logistics media, is organizing the Distribution Logistics Summit at CLA, where industry experts will focus on the various logistics issues and solutions within a distribution center or warehouse and how they connect to the rest of the supply chain.
W02 – Distribution Logistics Roundtable Part 1: Current Issues
T02 – An Omni Channel World Part 1: Challenges, Goals, and Big-Picture Strategies
A key intersection between shippers and carriers is at the point of distribution. If you are wrestling with ‘how do I control my transportation distribution costs’ or ‘what do changes in regulations and pricing structures mean to me’, then join us for our two part roundtable series. Our roundtable identifies key issues facing shippers today in part one and offers possible solutions and technologies designed to solve these key issues in part two.
Change is constant in the world of retail and e-commerce as major retailers are cutting back on in-store inventory with customer demand for electronic orders skyrocketing. As a result, there is increased pressure on your distribution channels to be designed to handle this growth. Customers have more visibility into everything from pricing of the product to delivery options and the stakes have never been so high to meet these expectations while adapting to cultural changes that touch every aspect of life. Join us in this two-part series that covers the dynamics of omni channel distribution as we discuss the challenges, goals, and big picture strategies, followed by ways to navigate these constant changes.

T08 – Supply Chain Efficiencies — Finding a Win for All Thursday, December 3 • 10:30 am – 12:00 pm Early Bird $30 | Regular $35
Freight system efficiency improvements possess the potential to produce both air quality improvements as well as a business benefit. By implementing one or more efficiency strategies, businesses may be able to cut travel time, decrease fuel costs, and increase the capacity of the system to transport more freight within the existing footprint. This panel will provide an overview of the efforts of California state agencies to coordinate freight policies that reflect a variety of goals into a comprehensive and integrated California Sustainable Freight Strategy.
