“I am excited to moderate this panel with Peter, Noel, and David on such an important issue for Southern California shippers, importers and exporters,” Vince says. “Peter has a unique perspective in Washington as “Our man in DC” on the policies and issues involving stakeholders in 2020-2021 port issues. This is the top issue now for California companies getting their goods to market, whether they are importers or exporters.”
Peter Friedmann is also looking forward to the discussion.
“I am looking forward to participating in this panel for Orange County World Trade Week, and the Irvine Chamber. Vince Iacopella is a master moderator, so it will be an engaging panel. It is vital to discuss Southern California seaports, which impact everyone shipping in global trade, not only in Southern California, but nationwide, and on both sides of the Pacific.”
