Over 300 shipping and logistics leaders from across the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States are set to convene in Fort Lauderdale for the 23rd Caribbean Shipping Executives’ Conference (CSEC), hosted by the Caribbean Shipping Association (CSA). Scheduled for May 19-20 at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, the conference will explore the critical forces shaping the regional and global marine industry.
This year’s conference comes at a time of accelerating change for the maritime sector. Over two days, attendees will engage in a dialogue about a wide range of pressing topics, including artificial intelligence, trade policy, climate resilience, cruise competitiveness, maritime security, and global supply chain disruptions.
Port Everglades leadership emphasized the port’s strategic importance to Caribbean trade. “As the leading gateway between the United States and the Caribbean, we value our strong trade partnership with the Caribbean Shipping Association and its members,” said Joseph Morris, CEO and Port Director of Port Everglades.
William Brown, president of the Caribbean Shipping Association, noted, “The Caribbean Shipping Executives’ Conference continues to be a vital platform for industry collaboration, reflection and action. As we confront complex global challenges, our ability to come together, share insights and innovate across borders is more important than ever. I am proud to see the CSA lead this conversation with such a strong and diverse slate of delegates.”
