    Where We're Heading: 2025 and Beyond

    As we come to the end of Inland24, we summarize what we’ve learned and pull the challenges we face in the near-term future into tighter focus. And there will be plenty of challenges, including an uncertain economy, a national election, and further down the road challenges related to sustainability and electrification. Speakers in this final on-stage discussion will review findings from the past three days and draw attention to what they see as prime upcoming challenges for shippers and their supply chain partners. We’ll leave this session better prepared for those challenges, whenever they will arise.
