show Guide

WELCOME to canada’s largest supply chain event!
On behalf of Informa Global
Exhibitions, I am pleased to
welcome you to the third annual
Cargo Logistics Canada Expo &
Conference (CLC)!
We are assembling the largest and
most diverse gathering of stakeholders
in Canadian 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 Canada, CLC 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
centrepiece, not an afterthought.
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, CLC’s à la
Ben Carson

Informa
carte format allows you to attend only
what you wish.
The Cargo Logistics Canada 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!
I would like to extend a warm
welcome to the delegates
attending the Cargo Logistics
Canada Expo and Conference,
which is held in Montréal for the
first time.
The transport and logistics sector is
very lively in the Montréal metropolitan
area and is responsible for some
122,000 direct and indirect jobs. It
involves more than 6,000 businesses
that handle close to 150 million tonnes
of goods.
Montréal recognizes the crucial role
played by the logistics and transport
sectors for the city’s economic vitality
and competitive edge. Our metropolis
works to improve highway access to
port facilities and cooperates with
the Québec Ministry of Transport to
facilitate truck access to the highway
network.
We must take advantage of a positive
momentum. With the introduction of
Québec’s Maritime Strategy and free
trade agreement between Canada and
the European Union, Montréal has a

unique opportunity to reaffirm the
metropolitan area’s position as a major
continental hub for transportation, the
handling of goods and international
trade.
I wish participants a productive
meeting and an excellent stay in
Montréal.
A note from our editor
We are excited to host the third
installment of Cargo Logistics Canada
Expo+Conference in Eastern Canada,
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, I am pleased to welcome
you to beautiful Montréal, situated
in Canada’s Continential Gateway. As
you peruse our show guide, you’ll get
a good sense of CLC’s wide-sweeping
demographic consisting of cargo
owners and the many diverse supply
chains that service them.
