Logistics professionals will share their perspectives on the latest trends in the global supply chain, automation and productivity, e-commerce and omni-channel retailing, and what these challenges and opportunities mean for the commercial real estate industry.

Confirmed speakers include Ronnie Hakim, executive director of NJ Transit; Peter Waldt, senior director of Commercial Planning and Development for Amtrak; Huascar Cruz, senior Director Import Export of Kate Spade & Co.;  Bethann Rooney, assistant Director-Port Performance Initiatives, Port Authority of NY/NJ; John Atkins, president of Global Container Terminals; and Anne Strauss-Wieder of A.
