T09 – The Promise of North America’s Waterways
Thursday, February 18 • 10:30 am – 12:00 pm • Room 511E
Rising congestion, costs, and emissions are key drivers to further study and
development of North America’s short sea shipping and inland waterway routes as a
viable alternative to trucking and in some cases, even rail, for moving freight. This
seminar composed of relevant supply chain stakeholders will discuss ways to better
leverage these important waterborne modes of commerce.

T03 – Global Commodity and Energy Impacts on North
America
Thursday, February 18 • 8:30 am – 10:00 am • Room 511F
The global commodity and energy markets are in flux with price volatility
that is driving stock market sentiment and directing economies globally.
Meanwhile, lower energy and fuel prices have bolstered manufacturing
and consumers with additional spending power on other goods, services
and financial activity. But in these markets there are changes taking place
through mergers and acquisitions, forthcoming economic realities and
realignment among the key resource rich countries. This session will paint
the picture of the global realties at play that are impacting consumption
and production patterns, and will set the stage for the next session.

T08 – Canadian Grain and Livestock Outlook
Thursday, February 18 • 10:30 am – 12:00 pm • Room 511F
The North American grain and oilseed complex is embroiled by large global
supplies while the livestock and protein complex is adjusting herd counts
and processor alignment amidst dynamic global consumption patterns and
volatile price activity. These market features are sending conflicting signals
to producers while giving buyers optionality to source supplies. This session
will develop and synthesize the Canadian crop and livestock production,
consumption and trade dynamics, all in context with the U.S. and global
situation and outlook.

The cold chain for food and meats has been dynamic as the protein and
meat sectors have adjusted to changes in supply and consumption pattern
shifts. Meanwhile, the infrastructure and transport in the cold chain are
undergoing changes with cold storage requirements, global container
ocean fleet adjustments, and issues within the movement of commodities
globally. This session will address the cold storage markets, reefer
container situation and developments in the global cold chain that support
improved demand for meats and proteins, dairy and other refrigerated food
expansion efforts.
