Delegates will gain timely insights into how ports can navigate growing uncertainty in global trade at #IAPH2025 in Kobe this October. With shifting trade dynamics, rising geopolitical tensions, and fluctuating tariffs shaping the first half of 2025, ports are under pressure to remain agile amidst disrupted cargo flows. In a fireside chat on the afternoon of 7 October, Gene Seroka, executive director of Port of Los Angeles and IAPH regional VP for North America, will join James Baker of Lloyd’s List, to explore how ports can build resilience and adapt operations in an increasingly unstable trade environment. Immediately after, James will conduct a second exclusive, in-person Interview on the plenary stage with Aboubaker Omar Hadi, chairman of Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority on how his port is meeting the challenges faced in the Red Sea and the future prospects for the region.
