Canadian Chamber Webinar Series - Future of Transportation: 9/1/2020
| |
Registration is now open for a four-part Future of Transportation webinar series.
Like every industry, transportation has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These sessions will feature guest speakers from leading transportation companies and will focus on how the industry has responded to the pandemic and other significant events. A discussion on what’s next for the four main transportation sectors in Canada will also take place. |

|
Session One: Trucking
September 17, 2020 | 1:00 p.m. ET |
 |
|
Before and throughout the pandemic, the trucking industry has been invaluable in helping to keep supply chains open and flowing. Join us as we focus on the initial impacts of COVID-19 on trucking operations and steps the industry has taken to mitigate those impacts. We will also discuss what the future of trucking may look like in a post-COVID world.

Session Two: Rail
September 22, 2020 | 1:00 p.m. ET |
 |
|
From strikes to blockades to pandemics, the rail industry has seen its fair share of challenges. Our conversation will focus on how both passenger and freight rail companies have had to address those challenges and how Canada can continue to position itself as a leader in the rail industry. On the passenger side, we will also discuss consumer confidence and the role it plays in economic recovery.

Session Three: Air
September 30, 2020 | 1:00 p.m. ET |
 |
|
As one of the first industries to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the air transportation sector, including airports, airlines and others in that ecosystem, will undoubtedly be one of the last to fully recover. As Canada begins emerging from the depths of the pandemic, industry leaders are finding new and innovative ways to instill consumer confidence and start returning to pre-pandemic levels. Our conversation will address those ways and focus on how Canada’s air transport sector can continue to demonstrate leadership in this regard.

Session Four: Shipping
October 6, 2020 | 1:00 p.m. ET |
 |
|
Shipping is an essential industry in Canadian and global supply chains, comprising 20% of Canadian exports and imports. Contributing to about 2% of the Canadian economy, shipping operations play a major role across the country from coast to coast. This session will focus on how the shipping industry has responded to the pandemic and other significant events and will include a discussion on what’s next for shipping in Canada.
