The 2023 CITT Town Hall is tomorrow!
Join our partners at CITT for the 2023 State of the Trade and Transportation Industry Town Hall at The Pointe on the CSULB campus on November 17 at 7:30am for breakfast and a mission-critical discussion.
Borne out of a need for a forum to resolve port-related conflicts, CITT Town Hall events since 2001 have addressed issues running the gamut from labor strikes to chassis shortages to the impacts of a global pandemic. This year’s Town Hall, “Decarbonization: Truth, Consequences, and Hard Choices,” features a documentary film screening and an expert round table discussion to address ways that California Supply Chain leaders can balance unprecedented decarbonization mandates in the face of an unrelenting American consumer demand for rapid and affordable fulfillment of goods.
