Speaking in the Logistics Conference Theatre at 2.15pm on Day 1 [22 October] of the show, Park Street’s McKinnon will address one of the most pressing issues facing the US logistics sector today: managing risks and safeguarding products in the ‘new normal’ of global trade. The session focuses on the evolving challenges within global shipping and offers critical insights for logistics professionals.
In today’s complex landscape, successful shipping requires more than just efficient routes and reliable partners. It demands careful planning, strict adherence to international regulations, and the adoption of best practices that mitigate growing risks.
According to McKinnon, “The current logistics environment is fraught with disruptions that go beyond traditional issues, including supply chain bottlenecks, fluctuating regulations, and new geopolitical pressures.” She will highlight the greatest risks affecting logistics today, offering practical strategies for managing these challenges.
