美洲集装箱供应链展览会（TOC Americas）是国际港口、码头、航运线、第三方物流和托运方的全球会议场所，也称美洲港口业务研讨会暨展览会，是美洲举行的港口设施及业务专业研讨会议及展览会，该展从1976年开始举行，一年一届在巴拿马会议中心举行。该展会是全球港口、码头、船务、第三方物流及相关设备供应商等港口业务的专业交流平台。展会将着重展示港口和码头技术和业务，参展企业将展示最新的港口作业设备和技术解决方案。会议重点是集装箱供应链中的合作，探讨如何提高集装箱码头的运营绩效，从而更好地为客户服务。来自全球的几千多名专业人士将前来参展参会。
TOC Americas是面向市场的会议与展览，每年在全球主要的航运中心之一举行。
TOC Americas会议主导的活动是完整的美洲集装箱供应链展览，汇集了托运人，物流供应商，航运公司，3PL，港口当局，码头经营者和其他主要受众，以学习，辩论和建立联系。干散货运输专业人士还将有专门的会议场地。
该活动包括高级别的集装箱供应链会议和干散货会议，以及免费参加的港口技术展览会，其中包括码头运营会议流； TECH TOC会议。
长期以来，集装箱码头运营商及其供应商一直认为TOC是同类产品中最好的。如今的TOC已发展成为一个完整的集装箱供应链活动，不仅提供技术内容，而且还为货链上层的利益相关者提供了一个平台。
因此，该事件现在有两个不同的元素：
该展览是港口和码头技术与运营的展示，以及针对码头运营商及其供应商的免费技术研讨会（包括TECH TOC和BULK）。技术和服务提供商齐聚一堂，向其客户，码头运营商和港口展示最先进的解决方案。
与每次TOC活动同时举行的高级别集装箱供应链会议，其目标受众是C-Suite战略人员，包括托运人，承运人和3pl公司以及全球运营商和港口当局。从集装箱供应链中主要利益相关者的角度来看，2020年会议的许多对话将集中在数字化与破坏上。
每个论坛中的共同点是The Port。该港口已牢固地确立为集装箱供应链中的关键环节。在码头或港口腹地发生的任何瓶颈或延误，都会严重影响货物到达目的地的时间。因此，港口需要使用市场上的最新技术及时且经济高效地处理货物。在TOC，我们将港口置于供应链的中心，这与我们40年的历史和传统保持一致。
TOC Americas自2001年在迈阿密开始运营。2021年第21版将在秘鲁利马举行。

展会报告(Show Reports):
Undoubtedly, TOC Americas is the most prominent meeting point for the maritime-port and logistics industry in the Americas. Its upcoming edition, to be held in Panama from October 1-3 at the Panama Convention Center, confirms this reputation by attracting prominent sponsors. Their trust ensures not only the high level of specialized conferences but also the extraordinary experience this event offers to delegates, exhibitors, speakers, and sponsors.Under the theme, "Rethink (Business Models), Reshape (Trade Routes) and Reduce (Emissions)," the contents of TOC Americas will feature three thematic days: October 1 - Business Intelligence; October 2 - Sustainability; and October 3 - Digitalization. These themes will be addressed through two conference programs: Container Supply Chain (CSC), covering economic, technical, and operational topics, and TECH TOC, offering more technical talks on technologies and solutions for ports, terminals, and the supply chain.
The content of both conferences will focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, with particular attention to the impact of international geopolitics on trade, the role of ports and the Panama Canal in the dynamics across value chains, the cold chain market, new technologies such as AI optimizing terminal operations, and how climate change is affecting maritime transport and logistics, as well as efforts to improve sustainability throughout the sector.
During the CSC, the Business Intelligence segment will include a market and trade summary to clarify industry developments, the evolution of maritime infrastructure and trade, and the challenges and opportunities for the cold chain in the Americas, among other topics. In terms of Sustainability, the path to net zero in the Americas will be analyzed, discussing whether the region is disconnected from the energy transition. Finally, it will be discussed how sustainability is a competitive advantage. Regarding Digitalization, the meaning of digital transformation will be examined, as well as the advantages and digital gaps.
Additionally, as is traditional, TECH TOC will conclude with an Intra-Americas Port Forum, where the discussion will revolve around how the port sector can increase the region's share in global trade.
