    TPM Tech: The State of Ocean Carrier APIs
    At some point over the last decade, the term application programming interface, or API, went from being an obscure computer programming expression to a customer-facing product selling point about system connectivity.

This session will examine this critical connective tissue, taking in the perspective of both providers and consumers of ocean freight APIs.
