The International Port & Terminal Technology Conference and Exhibition is coming to Savannah, Ga. on May 20-21. The Georgia Ports Authority and MCI Media will present the conference at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.

“Savannah is the perfect location for this year’s event, as its container port serves as the major gateway for trade into the vibrant and growing Southeast U.S. region,” said Peter van Schie of the magazine World Port Development, which is organizing the event.
