In a separate announcement, the Transportation Loss Prevention & Security Association will hold its annual conference April 21-23 at the Catamaran Resort Hotel in San Diego, CA. Included in the program are sessions on transportation, international trade, and one entitled “Law of the Land v. Law of the Jungle” which the group bills as lawyers explaining the law and businessmen explaining the real world of transportation and logistics.

Workshops on cargo claims, transportation insurance and security are also scheduled. The event culminates with exams for Certified Claims Professional accreditation for those who have met the qualification and pre-registered to take the exam.
