🎉 Women in Logistics 2025! The Women in Logistics event has come a long way since 2018, when I started with just 2 sponsors and 20 women in attendance. Thanks to the incredible support of the sponsors and community, WIL has grown organically into the wonderful event it is today—and is nearly sold out with over 120 women registered already! A heartfelt thank you to all the sponsors —your contributions ensure this event continues to thrive and shine a spotlight on the amazing women in Great Lakes shipping. Check out the updated sponsor poster below to see who’s supporting! And don’t forget, the **Impact! Award** will be presented at WIL once again, recognizing a remarkable woman making waves in our industry. A special thanks to @Great Lakes Seaway Review for making this award possible. 🌊🏆 #WomenInLogistics #WIL2025 #NetworkingEvent #GreatLakesMaritime #ThankYouSponsors #WomenInGreatLakesTransportation #ImpactAward2025 HOPA Ports The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation McAsphalt Industries Limited Ocean / Océan CIFFA Ontario Shipyards Logistec McKeil Marine Limited TradeLink Desgagnés Logistik Valport | Port de Valleyfield Canfornav Algoma Central Corporation The CSL Group Inc.
