SUMMARY:PIANC INT: Memphis Hybrid Event :Transportation System-Level Resilience – Challenges And Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Symposium\, 12th September 2025\, 0900 to 1630 (UTC-5)  \nFEDEX Institute of Technology. Rooms 203/205 (The Fishbowl). FEDEX Building\, University of Memphis\, USA  \nIn-person attendance is encouraged\, but online participation is also possible.  \nSymposium organised by international Task Force on Transport System Resilience members:  includes PIANC. \n 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.  \nJoin us as we bring together international and regional experts to embark on a journey to:  \n\nRaise awareness of transport system interdependencies and the need for resilient\, cross-modal solutions \nHighlight the potential consequences of inaction and a lack of preparedness \nDisseminate good practice case studies\, both within modes and across modes \nIdentify potential gaps in knowledge and research needs \nFacilitate collective action\, continued discussion and knowledge exchange \n\nThe 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:  \nREGISTER HERE  \nIn-person attendance is encouraged\, but online participation is also possible.  \nThose attending in person may like to take advantage of the special hotel rates negotiated for the PIANC-Smart Rivers conference: https://smartrivers2025.com/location/#hotel

See ToR here. \nThis year’s event will bring together port authorities\, operators\, engineers\, line manufacturers\, stevedores\, and contractors to share insights and best practice from across the maritime sector. The forum provides a platform to review interim findings from WG 251\, contribute operational data and experience\, and help shape international recommendations that will make ports safer for personnel worldwide \nThe two-day programme will include updates from WG 251\, presentations from Fremantle Ports\, and round-table discussions with port owners and operators. A tour of local maritime facilities and an informal sundowner networking session on the first evening are also included. \nPreliminary Schedule (GMT +08): \n\nThursday 11 December: (13:00 – 17:00) Opening Address\, WG 251 updates\, Fremantle Ports presentation\, and evening sundowner.\nFriday 12 December: (13:00 – 17:00) Tours\, round-table discussions\, and closing session.\n\nMembership of the forum is open to port authorities\, asset owners\, engineers\, stevedores\, contractors\, line manufacturers\, and other relevant/interested parties with an interest in improving global mooring safety. \nWe invite you to join us for this important exchange of expertise and collaboration towards safer\, more resilient ports. \nPlease register your expression of interest here:\nhttps://forms.office.com/r/vwUChh3daf \n
