The 2026 event is at Loews Coronado Bay in Coronado, California.

The organizer identifies attendees, decision makers, and the FTZ community as its audience.

It is most useful for foreign-trade zone operators, zone grantees, customs brokers and trade compliance staff, since the event is described as the largest FTZ-related gathering in the United States and past in-person editions drew over 500 attendees from more than 300 companies. Sponsors include Descartes, QAD, Thomson Reuters, Port of Long Beach and several zones, so software and services vendors can meet real buyers; people outside the FTZ and trade world would get little from it, and registration is currently at capacity with only a waitlist open.

Attendees at trade and customs compliance conferences usually wear business casual, with a blazer or suit for sessions and receptions. The Loews Coronado Bay setting in southern California in October allows lighter fabrics, and evening receptions may suit smart casual.
