As part of its regular webinar series, GLDPartners hosts webinars about topics that are timely & pertinent to audiences interested in market trends, policy and project finance concerning transportation, logistics, supply chain, infrastructure finance and economic development.

Our next webinar will be held on February 15th at 2PM EST and the topic will be: Washington’s Direction: Implications for Trade, Infrastructure and Economic Development.   About 25 days into the new US Administration, GLDPartners will present an update on policy direction concerning trade agreements and infrastructure investment and the implications for ports, airports and economic development organizations.

There has been a lot written about the controversies surrounding changes to NAFTA and the TPP and also the US alliance with the European Union.  Combined with Brexit and trade policy issues brewing in other countries, this is a tumultuous time and there will be real consequences that will impact economic development and seaport and airport owners and operators.  In the context of federal public investment in infrastructure, the new Administration is speaking aggressively about rebuilding transportation infrastructure.  We’ll review the realities as they’re known at present and look ahead at implications to various market sectors.

The webinar presenters will be the following GLDPartners experts: Eric Peterson who leads our Washington DC office, Brendan Dugan who leads our ports and terminals practice and Lois Yates who leads our aviation and economic development practice.
