PIANC INT: Memphis Hybrid Event :Transportation System-Level Resilience – Challenges And Solutions

Symposium, 12th September 2025, 0900 to 1630 (UTC-5) 

FEDEX Institute of Technology. Rooms 203/205 (The Fishbowl). FEDEX Building, University of Memphis, USA 

In-person attendance is encouraged, but online participation is also possible.

Symposium organised by international Task Force on Transport System Resilience members:  includes PIANC.

 Transport modes are interconnected. The transportation network is only as resilient as its weakest link. Extreme weather events and other system shocks are impacting mobility and disrupting supply chains with increasing frequency. Strengthening preparedness is vital, not only at mode level, but at system level. 

Join us as we bring together international and regional experts to embark on a journey to: 

• Raise awareness of transport system interdependencies and the need for resilient, cross-modal solutions 
• Highlight the potential consequences of inaction and a lack of preparedness 
• Disseminate good practice case studies, both within modes and across modes 
• Identify potential gaps in knowledge and research needs 
• Facilitate collective action, continued discussion and knowledge exchange 

The symposium will comprise a series of in person and online presentations by local and international experts, followed by a panel discussion. There will be plenty of opportunities for participants to engage, ask questions of the speakers, and share their own experiences.  See program here:
