AAPA Annual Convention & Expo

Where else can you spend the day discussing the future of maritime trade, infrastructure investment, supply chain resiliency, energy transition, and global competitiveness…then step outside into one of the most vibrant, unforgettable cities in the world?
From iconic food and live music to historic architecture and waterfront culture, New Orleans delivers an experience unlike anywhere else. And with easy flights from across North America, getting there couldn’t be simpler.
But beyond the city itself, this year’s convention comes at a critical moment for the industry.
The conversations happening right now around trade policy, tariffs, modernization, technology, resilience, and decarbonization are shaping the future of ports and maritime commerce for decades to come. That’s why this year’s Annual Convention is expected to be one of the most important and timely gatherings in recent memory.
So come for the insights, the conversations, and the connections.
Stay for the music, the food, the culture… and maybe a few beignets.
Early bird rates are available through June 5.
