WEBINAR CONTENT

Coming off a midterm Congressional election, there is anticipation about what the new political configuration means for trade in 2023 and 2024. Join us on this complimentary webinar screening and gain unique insight to be ready for these latent changes.

 Conflicting headlines, geopolitical crises, mixed demand signals, a new Congressional makeup, and a consumer struggling with inflation and shifting priorities all lead to an uncertain coming year.

To help companies get a jump on what’s coming, Sourcing Journal created 2023 Industry Outlook, which features the participation of Alba Wheels Up's EVP of Growth and Strategy for the logistics portion of the outlook. This webinar features 4 one-on-one chats with experts discussing logistics, materials, retail and trade, with prescriptions to stabilize the shifting sands beneath our feet. 

While the logistical nightmare of getting goods from point A to B has calmed down a bit, the unpredictability of container prices has adding to the anxiety.

“We had some customers in the middle of 2022 who said, ‘Look, we will pay a little more to know what the price is going to be for a full 12-to-24 month period, just so we can budget for it,’” said Alba Wheels Up’s Vincent Iacopella. “They obviously don’t want to pay $15,000, but they would pay more than what the market rate is now just to have some stability.”

This webinar was first hosted in the Sourcing Journal platform in December 2022, and will provide insights to logistics professionals working in different industries into what is still to come for the rest of 2023
