DANICA PATRICK - “PUSHING YOURSELF TO THE LIMITS”This year’s closing session will be a first in the history of the shows, when our speaker will deliver remarks directly from the tradeshow floor on Tuesday. Attendees will hear from arguably one of the most recognizable athletes in the world – Danica Patrick. Her determination, versatility and commanding presence have all led to her success on and off the track. In seven years, she has evolved from IndyCar Rookie of the Year to a racing sensation whose appeal, according to ESPN.com, “hits just about every demographic.” Danica is considered by many to be the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel racing, and is the only woman ever to win an IndyCar Series race. She also holds the highest finish ever by a woman at the Indianapolis 500 – third place. In 2011, Danica made history with the best finish ever by a woman in NASCAR – and announced she would move full-time to NASCAR for the 2012 racing season.		 Convention Center, Exhibit Hall A
2:00 p.m. OFFSITE TOURS
BOEING C-17 GLOBEMASTER III PRODUCTION FACILITY TOUR

Boeing’s C-17 Globemaster III is the world’s most advanced military transport aircraft. It is the major workhorse currently used for the rapid movement of cargo and strategic airlift of troops to tactical facilities throughout the world. The C-17 provides the logistical support required for the President of the United States when he travels domestically and to foreign destinations for consultations and state meetings. On occasion it has also carried the President into tactical locations thereby earning the aircraft designation of Air Force One. Our two-hour tour of Boeing’s final assembly plant for the C-17 in Long Beach, CA (adjacent to the Long Beach Airport) will give participants an up close view into the development and manufacturing of this extraordinary aircraft.

This tour is limited to a maximum of 20 persons. Tour participants must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years or older, carry a valid picture identification (i.e., driver’s license, passport) and have proper footwear such as closed-toe shoes (no sandals, no high heels). Also no cameras are permitted.
PORT OF LONG BEACH TOUR – (WATERSIDE)

The Port of Long Beach is one of the world's busiest seaports. A leading gateway for trade between the United States and Asia, it supports over a million jobs nationally and generates billions of dollars in economic activity each year. With a Green Port Policy guiding efforts to minimize or eliminate negative environmental impacts, the Port also is a catalyst for innovative environmental programs, serving as a model for ports around the world.
PORT OF LOS ANGELES TOUR – (WATERSIDE)

The Port of Los Angeles is considered to be the number one port by container volume and cargo value in the United States, and prides itself on ultra-modern terminal efficiency, robust intermodal assets, and its world-class security operations. The Port has nine major container terminals, four dockside intermodal rail yards and is an environmental leader in this industry.
UNION PACIFIC INTERMODAL CONTAINER TRANSFER FACILITY

The Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) is the near-dock railyard located approximately five miles from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The $55 million ICTF opened in 1986 as a multi-user facility serving numerous shipping lines. Since its opening, the ICTF has greatly enhanced transcontinental train service, as well as the relay of marine cargo containers between the two Southern California container ports and major rail yards near downtown Los Angeles.
