Why Attend?
The global maritime and commodities markets are experiencing a sea change. Shifting geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the ongoing energy transition and an evolving array of new technologies are redrawing the contours of tomorrow’s profit, progress and security. Now more than ever there is a need for strategic resilience within U.S. shipping.
By bringing together thought leaders and experienced professionals from across government, the private sector, defense and academia, this conference will address the complex operational, commercial, policy and regulatory challenges and opportunities within the U.S. maritime value chain, both at home and abroad.
The New York Council Navy League is excited to host its fourth annual New York Maritime Security Conference. NYMSC is once again gathering government officials, military leaders and maritime industry professionals to explore the vital role of the maritime industry in national security and economic prosperity.
