The ColdChainer Briefing

What it is

TOC Americas is Informa Markets' Latin American installment of the global TOC (Terminal Operations Conference) container and port supply-chain series. The 2026 edition runs two conference streams — TECH TOC (automation, digitalisation, terminal operations) and CSC Live (senior container supply-chain leadership) — under the editorial line 'Trade, Tariffs & Tensions,' alongside an exhibition of port equipment, terminal technology and logistics services. Refrigerated (reefer) cargo has featured as a recurring conference theme given the region's fruit and produce export trade.

Why it matters

Latin America is a major origin for refrigerated container exports — bananas, fruit, produce — so TOC is where terminal operators, carriers and port cold-storage players discuss reefer capacity, canal routing and infrastructure that shape refrigerated cargo flows. For a cold chain professional it is the container/port-side view of perishables movement rather than a pharma or GDP forum. Attending is useful for tracking how terminal and shipping constraints affect reefer throughput across the region.

Who you'll meet

The room is port and terminal operators, shipping lines and carriers, freight forwarders, and port equipment and technology vendors from across the Americas. CSC Live skews to senior port and supply-chain executives on strategy; TECH TOC draws technical and operational terminal staff. Reefer-relevant participants historically include refrigerated cargo shippers, perishables exporters and port cold-storage operators such as Friopuerto.
