In addition, Jason will be participating in a panel discussion on Tuesday, August 9^th, covering the topic, What Intermediaries and Shippers Should Know about the Carmack Amendment & Interstate Cargo Claims. The presentation will cover how the Carmack Amendment applies to the transportation industry and logistics service providers and what you should expect. The panel will identify statutory responsibilities for intermediaries and best practices to manage your exposures including insurance coverage such as Contingent Cargo Liability and Errors and Omissions (E&O). Additional risk management strategies will be outlined for shippers to employ along with the use of Cargo insurance to minimize financial loss.

Amanda along with an industry colleague will be presenting on Tuesday, August 9^th, on the topic, What’s New in ATA Carnets. Her presentation will cover the continued growing popularity of ATA Carnets as a strong option for the international trade community. She’ll review what types of international trade movements are best served by the use of an ATA Carnet as well as go over any improvements to the system and additional signatory countries on the ATA Carnet agreement.
