Global logistics systems are entering a once-in-a-generation workforce reset.

Gain some clarity.

Ports are modernizing. Trade lanes are shifting.Automation and data systems are accelerating decision-making across maritime, transportation, and logistics networks. At the same time, nearly 40% of the port operations workforce is approaching retirement, and millions of supply chain roles are projected to go unfilled over the next decade.

This Industry Pathways Event is designed to create clarity. Not through job postings or panels, but through conversation with leaders who operate inside these systems every day. Participants will explore how maritime and global logistics actually function, how careers evolve over time, and where leadership, accountability, and judgment matter most as systems become more automated.

For veterans and military spouses, this is an opportunity to understand how your experience translates before committing to a role.  For employers, it’s a chance to engage early with talent that understands systems, safety, and mission continuity.
