Following the attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and mass diversions of ships around Africa, users of ocean container shipping know all too well the disruptive impact of geopolitical events. In years past, in an era of globalization and consensus around multilateral trade, geopolitical events and container shipping supply chains rarely converged and logisticians could focus on getting goods moved with minimal complication. That has obviously changed dramatically such that companies need the insights of those at the center of national security world to understand the impact and risk to supply chains. Such is the case with former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who we’re proud to announce as the TPM25 keynote speaker. Described as "someone who sees the world as it really is," Ambassador Bolton served as US Ambassador to the United Nations from 2005 to 2006, as National Security Advisor from 2018 to 2019, and in many other senior government positions during his long and distinguished career.
