The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) Executive Management Conference is taking place on May 17 - 21 in Napa, California. Its focus: The challenges facing port leaders today--including trade growth, environmental sustainability, enhanced security, and competing stakeholder interests--call for a new level of leadership capability. Not only do port leaders need to be resilient in coping with and leading change, they also need to think more strategically about the challenges ahead while identifying innovative solutions. Session topics include the following:

• Addressing Port Challenges through Strategic Thinking;
• Planning for Future Transportation Technologies;
• A Port's Institutional Setting and the Implications for Port Managers;
• Port Development and Operational Strategies in a Changing World;
• Managing Legal Challenges in the Public Port Environment.
