June 10, 2026 – 11 a.m. 2026 Freight Summit – Investing in our Inland Waterways: Strengthening Freight Competitiveness

Don’t miss this opportunity to gather in person with other industry leaders aboard a riverboat docked on the St. Louis Riverfront for a keynote address by Tracy Zea, President and CEO of Waterways Council, Inc.

Titled Investing in our Inland Waterways: Strengthening Freight Competitiveness, the keynote conversation with Zea will explore the critical role of inland waterways for supply chain reliability, economic competitiveness and long-term freight system resilience. It also will highlight the importance of renewed investment in inland waterways infrastructure and priorities that will deliver the greatest return on investment.

The event will also feature the release of the 2027 Priority Projects List, a valuable tool used to advocate for support and funding for critical infrastructure improvements that strengthen the St. Louis region’s position as a world-class freight and logistics hub for national and global supply chains.
