The on-demand session topic will be posted on 29 October 2020, with a live Q&A event at 4:00 PM.

The event takes place on the fourth day of the “AAPA Anywhere: Energy & Environment Seminar & Expo”, which is focused on Climate Change Impacts and Planning. Mr. Cox and Mr. Fisk will address topics such as drivers for action, what ports should do and when, and risk assessment approaches.

About the event

AAPA Anywhere: Energy & Environment Seminar & Expo will explore the opportunities surrounding both energy products as a port cargo and alternative fuels as a means to improve environmental performance. Ports throughout the Hemisphere are charting new courses regarding energy and are blazing trails as environmental leaders in their communities. Other topics may include energy planning, LNG, resiliency, climate planning and sea level rise, and MTMT environmental compliance. This virtual event will also feature separate tracks for those who plan, monitor and administer energy and environment activities, and for those responsible for marketing and communicating information about energy and environment activities.

The event will deliver timely, relevant content from experts, exclusive networking and interaction with colleagues and educational opportunities from industry solution providers. From October 26-30, registered participants will be able to access pre-recorded content, participate in live Q&A sessions with presenters, exchange private messages with colleagues through an event app and meet with exhibitors in virtual, informal small groups. The event will offer companies heightened visibility through sponsorship opportunities and give exhibitors the opportunity to connect with potential customers.
