IRPT is a trade association for the nation’s inland waterway, port, and terminal professionals. Our mission is to provide a platform for inland river port and terminal professionals to improve their businesses and to inform policy makers on the needs and economic impacts of our industry.

We value our members and understand their perspective is key to the industry’s healthy growth and operation of the inland river ports, terminals and intermodal centers which contribute to a more efficient national freight transportation system. As IRPT continues to be a voice for the industry as a whole, it is imperative that we connect with our industry leaders and understand their concerns.

The goal for our luncheon is to bring together people from all segments of the river industry to talk about issues, ideas and conditions important to the Mississippi River. This event offers an opportunity to socialize with shippers, cargo handlers, carriers, legislators and advocacy groups.
