The Houston Ship Channel is experiencing tremendous growth. Metro Houston, the country’s No. 1 region for exports, is home to the largest petrochemical manufacturing complex in the Americas. Energy production and the export of crude oil, along with the increasing global demand for chemicals produced in the region, are major drivers of this success.

Join us at the annual State of Port where the Partnership will focus on the performance of Port Houston and the global maritime industry. As the nation’s largest port by tonnage, Port Houston is a major economic engine supporting Texas. Ric Campo, Chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority, will address the port system’s performance, future growth and expansion opportunities and capital investment plans.

Speakers include: 

• Bob Harvey, President & CEO, Greater Houston Partnership
• Ric Campo, Chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority
