Miami ‘state of the ports? briefing today

Miami æstate of the portsÆ briefing today

The annual Miami-Dade state of the ports briefing will be held 4 p.m. today at the new Carnival Performing Arts Center in Miami.

   Bill Johnson, port of Miami director, and Jose Abreu, airport director, will each give presentations on volumes and capital improvements during the last year, and outlooks for 2007. The annual event, organized by the World Trade Center Miami, is expected to draw some 600 people.

   Past state of the ports briefings had been set around luncheons, but this year's event will be followed by a reception to offer more fluid networking opportunities.
