In December 1994, an Intermodal Freight Terminal of the Future Conference was convened in the afterglow of the passage of ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act – 1991). The conference agenda was concentrated on matters of terminal design — as well as operations and information technologies. There has not been any comparable gathering since then. This conference is planned to resurrect and update the topic, adding a global perspective — with a focus on intermodal operations.

PLENARY SESSION
Interaction with the Network
The intermodal terminal is a node within an overall transportation network. The overall success of both is dependent upon efficient and reliable transfers. This session will literally explore this problem from a global context.
The International Delegate Conference is held in conjunction with the
TransComp Exhibition/Intermodal Expo tradeshow and conference.
If you wish to attend the TransComp Exhibition/Intermodal Expo, a fee and separate registration is required.
