CREF’s move to Panama City this year creates a distinctive opportunity for delegates: a firsthand look at the infrastructure asset that has shaped Panama’s role in global trade. As part of the post-conference program, a group of CREF delegates will visit the Panama Canal’s Miraflores Locks, one of the world’s most consequential pieces of trade and logistics infrastructure.
For an audience of policymakers, investors, utilities, developers and infrastructure leaders, this is more than a sightseeing add-on. It is an opportunity to see how critical infrastructure is operated and sustained over generations, and to consider the engineering, institutional coordination and long-term planning required to keep a vital global trade route moving.
Delegates will experience panoramic views from the observation decks, watch vessels navigate the locks and gain insight into how the Canal’s role in global trade and regional connectivity continues to evolve, all within a short journey from the Hilton Panama.
With all places now reserved, the excursion offers participating delegates a rare opportunity to experience one of Panama’s defining infrastructure assets firsthand. It is also a fitting conclusion to an event focused on the infrastructure, investment and long-term decision-making shaping the Caribbean’s energy future.
The complimentary site visit is now fully booked. Registered CREF delegates who have not secured a place can join the waitlist during registration and will be notified if a place becomes available.
