Port Efficiencies Workshop — October 8, 2020 (4:00 pm Pacific Time)
Ports around the world are realizing the benefits of integrated management systems for everything from facilities to vessel traffic. New technologies from Yardi Systems, Inc. and PortLink provide port managers with the ability to consolidate management systems into a single, seamless hub that reduces redundancies and increases communication with port users. Our APP Technical Workshop highlights how these systems can be implemented at ports both large and small.
Attendees will also hear about the practical side of creating port efficiencies as Midstream Lighting describes how lighting design and planning can not only impact on a port’s ROI but will also reduce inefficient (and often bothersome to neighbors) lighting issues.
Moderated by Doug Hayes, Executive Director for the Port of Columbia County, our APP Technical Workshop highlights how these systems can be implemented at ports both large and small.
Presenters:
- Jay Rainaldi, Director, Government Relations, Yardi Systems, Inc.
- Kris English, Chief Marketing Officer, PortLink
- Rory McBride, Global Sales, Maritime, Midstream Lighting
