TPM23 by S&P Global Market Intelligence to be held in Long Beach, CA, February 26–March 1

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Organized by The Journal of Commerce within S&P Global Market Intelligence, TPM, one of the world's largest trade conferences, will be held in the port city of Long Beach, California, February 26–March 1, 2023, following the TPM Tech event Feb. 23–24.

Under the theme of "Picking up the Pieces," TPM23 will explore in depth what the post pandemic reality will look like for container supply chains and what it means for 2023 and beyond.

Just weeks into 2023, the market is almost unrecognizable compared to the past two years of massive pandemic impact. The industry is coming off of an unpreceded period of growth, disruption and consequences, relative to container shipping history going back to the 1950s.

"It is too simple to say that containerized supply chains have simply gone back to normal. The reason is, while port congestion has largely cleared, the pandemic impact on perceptions of risk among shippers and beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) as well as the thinking of some regulators, particularly in the US, has changed significantly and will not quickly revert," said Peter Tirschwell, vice president at S&P Global Market Intelligence and chairman of TPM23. "At the same time, certain pre-pandemic realities, such as a greatly consolidated ocean carrier industry and inadequate port flow, have not changed, and that is important to remember in looking out into 2023 and beyond."

With a comprehensive agenda, TPM23 will prepare the participants to face an unpredictable market in 2023 and beyond.

TPM23 program includes: 

• The Global Economic and Trade Outlook: How Container Shipping Demand Is Shaping Up
• Container Shipping Outlook: Suddenly and Yet Again, It's a New World
• The Route to Carbon-Neutral Shipping and a Multi-Fuel Future
• The Ocean Capacity Outlook: Shedding Light on a Complex Picture
• The Logistics Implications of Sourcing Shifts
• How to Improve Container Flow Through Terminals
• Decarbonizing Ocean Container Supply Chains: What Shippers Demand Versus Solutions Available Today
