Announcing the First Air Cargo Security Summit
Orlando, Florida USA— The Global Trade and Commerce Association, Inc. (GTCA) and the Cargo Security Alliance (CSA) announced today that they will be co-hosting the first Air Cargo Security Summit. The event will be held at the DoubleTree Resort Orlando, on International drive on October 27 and October 28, 2009. Eric Graham of the Florida Governor’s office will be the guest of honor and speaker at the first day’s luncheon. In addition, there will be a reception and trade show at the offices of LimitLess International, Inc. the evening of October 27th.
Presenting the summit is TSA’s effort to educate air shippers and others in the transportation industry on the importance and ramifications of a congressional law requiring the screening of all air cargo placed on passenger jets by August 1, 2010. Non-compliance could result in delays in cargo movement. This possibility adds considerable importance to TSA’s educational efforts. In addition to TSA personnel, transportation experts and educators from the Cargo Security Alliance and representatives of US-based and foreign airlines will be there to conduct some of the educational programs.
