The audience was expected to include rail shippers and roles across major and short line railroads, including various levels of rail management.
Shippers based outside the Southeast, or people wanting a large exhibit-driven show, would get less from it, because it is a regional association meeting with a single listed speaker and one sponsor, TrinityRail.
Attendees at regional rail and logistics association meetings usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt, and sturdy closed shoes are sensible for the port tour.
