In this special TPM Tech Preview episode, Brian Glick sits down with Eric Johnson of the Journal of Commerce to go behind the scenes of TPM and TPM Tech. Eric explains how the conference has evolved from its transpacific shipping roots into a broader forum for containerized supply chains, global economics, geopolitics, and technology - and why an editorial-first approach remains central to its credibility. Together, they explore how TPM Tech sessions are designed, how topics and speakers are selected months in advance, and how the program avoids becoming sales-driven or trend-chasing. The conversation also dives into what Eric is most excited about for the upcoming event, from challenging long-held industry assumptions to framing more practical, grounded discussions around AI.
