Intermodal EXPO Academic Challenge – Annual Student Competition
Since 2011, the Student Competition at EXPO has allowed undergraduate students from IANA’s Scholarship Award schools to apply their logistics and transportation studies to real-world intermodal issues and showcase their understanding of global and domestic intermodal supply chains.
The first three competitions consisted of student research paper presentations on a prompted intermodal topic before a panel of industry judges. Subsequent competitions have consisted of student teams presenting recommendations on a specific intermodal industry business case.
