Top Economist to Bring Global Trade and Transport Trends to New England

A highlight of CONECT’s 2014 Northeast Trade and Transportation Conference in Newport, RI will be the presentation by the Chief Economist of the Journal of Commerce and PIERS, Dr. Mario Moreno, whose highly anticipated presentation will take place on Thursday April 3. Dr. Moreno, who oversees data collection, analysis and presentation in the Journal of Commerce, is a frequently featured presenter on JOC Webinars and at international transportation conferences including the West Coast’s Annual TPM Conference. Dr. Moreno’s insight and predictions of global economic growth, consumer spending, and the flow of commerce provide the foundation for all engaged in international logistics and cargo movement. His projections allow ocean carriers to calculate revenue and determine demand for new vessels. His guides assist numerous major importers and exporters, and his analysis influences the rates the ocean carriers will charge, and what the shippers will accept. Mario Moreno’s trend information on ocean carriage supply and demand, Asian growth, manufacturing cost and shifting consumer demand, will help all attendees at the T & T plan and manage expectations. Mario Moreno’s articulate presentation is always well received by audiences of international and domestic logistics, transportation and compliance professionals at conferences around the world. CONECT is very pleased to provide this opportunity to those attending the T&T.
