Communication and marketing opportunities

The overarching goal of the APP is to create a community for ports and supporting stakeholders that fosters good relations and collaboration among members and the maritime industry as a whole. Focused on all three prongs of port control — governance, management and operations, our robust communication and outreach strategies are dedicated to promoting the increased efficiency of ports and harbors.

As you develop your communication and marketing plans for the coming year, we invite you to learn more about opportunities to participate with the APP.

The APP holds two conferences per year:

Winter Conference — each January (usually the last week) in Hawaii, the most convenient location for ports and stakeholders on both sides of the Pacific.
Annual Conference — APP Annual Conferences follow a pattern of alternating between the North American side of the Pacific and the Eastern. The conference scheduled for 2025 will be held in Nanaimo, B.C., Canada; 2026 will be located in Guam; 2027, Alaska; and 2028, Marshall Islands.
