This year's Air & Sea Cargo Americas conference and exhibition, which is being partnered by Air Cargo News, is expected to attract more than 5,000 visitors.

The show, which happens every two years, will be held at the Miami Airport & Convention Center between November 4 and 6.

In 2013, the show was the largest attended air and maritime cargo show in the western Hemisphere.

More than $57m in actual and projected sales were reported by the exhibitors and over 6,800 international aviation and maritime business executives from 65 countries that visited the exhibition.

The conference is a platform to present updates on the latest security and safety regulations being used for the purpose of securing cargo from the intrusion of biological, chemical or explosive materials.
