PORT SECURITY OPERATIONS CONFERENCE & EXPO : Professional Development and Technical Education In a Time of Change

 

The 9/11 terror attacks on the United States deeply affected port operations internationally. On July 1, 2004, ports worldwide signified compliance with the ISPS code, and U.S. ports with the MTSA, by registering port security plans in their country and becoming listed on the IMO List of Compliant Facilities. Florida ports have been dealing with regulated seaport security since before 2001. Since 2004, much has changed for operators. Implementation of port security plans has been successful and security is being woven into the operational activities of ports daily. Best practices are being learned, and ways to achieve more with less cost are being discovered. But changes continue, and nowhere is that more true than in Florida and the Gulf Ports. Learn More >>

The 2013 PORT SECURITY OPERATIONS CONFERENCE & EXPO (PSOC) is driven by the need for professional development and technical education, especially during a time of change.  PSOC will be a forum for practical discussion of how to most effectively implement security in the port environment.  

• PSOC will present a professional development opportunity to those charged with the management and operation of security activities within the port, and will be of interest to operators, regulators, shippers and others directly involved in the successful operation of secure and safe ports.  
• The structure of PSOC will allow for delegates to be briefed on current and pending issues and regulations by government, Coast Guard and industry officials, and to share practical case studies of effective solutions implemented in real world situations on a daily basis.
• Sessions on best practices will highlight the most effective ways operators have found to get the job done. The expo will give delegates a chance to see the latest technologies from world-class solution providers.
