Global market volatility is reshaping trade and supply chains across industries. From tariffs and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East to rising fuel costs, transportation disruptions, and changing compliance requirements, organizations across Maryland are operating in an increasingly complex environment. This session will bring together leaders from BWI Marshall Airport, Southwest Airlines, Nexterus & Volvo Group and the broader logistics and trade community to discuss the forces driving today’s disruption — and how regional infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and operational agility can help businesses adapt and remain competitive. The conversation will also highlight how Maryland’s transportation and logistics ecosystem — including airport connectivity, port access, and proximity to major East Coast markets — can support regional resilience and economic growth. Attendees will hear practical perspectives on managing supply chain risk, responding to fuel price volatility and routing changes, navigating trade and compliance challenges, and building more resilient operations in an uncertain global environment. The discussion is intended for corporate and supply chain leaders, government and economic development officials, financial institutions, and professional services firms involved in global trade and logistics.
