One of the most pressing issues facing trade and employment at the Port of Long Beach will be discussed by scholars and industry experts in October, when California State University Long Beach (CSULB) holds a public Point/Counterpoint discussion on the upcoming 2014 expansion of the Panama Canal and what it will mean for the shipping industry.
The forum, entitled “Panama Canal Expansion: The Battle for Jobs and Cargo. Who Wins? Whose Loses? Who Decides?”, will be held on Wednesday, October 6 from 6:00pm-8:30pm in the Carpenter Center on the CSULB campus. Attendance and parking are free and seating in the 1,100-seat center is first come first serve.
