Transportation conference to focus on law, insurance, contracts, and claims

Practical "meat and potatoes" information is on the menu at the Transportation & Logistics Council's 2010 Annual Conference, slated for April 19–21 in San Diego. The event promises to provide attendees with the kind of real-world information found in the group's practical handbooks, which include Shipping and Receiving in Plain English, Transportation Insurance in Plain English, and Freight Claims in Plain English.

The conference agenda includes expert-led sessions on such topics as importing and exporting, risk management and insurance, and protecting pharmaceutical shipments as well as workshops on law, insurance, contracts, and claims. Two discussion panels featuring well-known transportation attorneys will highlight recent cases and upcoming legislation affecting shippers, carriers, and third parties. Optional day-long workshops on transportation and logistics law, contracts, and freight claims will also be offered.
