  • 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Old Ranch Country Club, 3901 Lampson Avenue, Seal Beach, CA 90740

Registration

  • The Presenting Sponsor's name sits next to the event's. Every invitation, every email, every sign, and both videos carry the lockup: Salute to Industry 2026, presented by your company. This is the only sponsorship that puts a company at the podium.

  • Gold is the backbone of this event. It has been since the beginning. A Gold sponsor brings a full table, gets named from the podium, and carries a premium ad position in the program.

  • Silver brings a full table and podium recognition at a price that works for firms sending a client group. It is the most common first sponsorship for a company new to the Salute.

  • Bronze is a half table of four. Two Bronze sponsors share one round, which works well for smaller firms who want a presence without ten seats to fill.

    Podium recognition is the same as the tiers above it.

  • The reception is the first hour, outdoors, and it is where most of the business in this room actually gets done. The Reception Sponsor owns that hour.

    Their name goes on the terrace, the bar, and the call to dinner.

  • Two videos run during the program. One is the HAIC year in review. One is the honoree tribute. The Video Sponsor underwrites both and is named before each one rolls. The videos live on after the event, which makes this the longest-tail sponsorship on the list.

The Salute to Industry is HAIC's marquee evening event and our thank you to the people who move the harbor economy. Terminal operators, engineers, logistics and maritime firms, agency leadership, labor partners, and elected officials fill the room for one night at the close of the year.

This year we honor two of the most consequential engineering leaders in the San Pedro Bay with the 2026 Harbor Beacon Award. Their work shapes the infrastructure that every container, every barrel, and every shift on the docks depends on.

2026 Harbor Beacon Award Honorees
ChrisBrown, P.E., Chief Harbor Engineer, Port of Los Angeles
Monique Lebrun, P.E., D.PE, Chief Harbor Engineer, Port of Long Beach

The Evening

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with an outdoor cocktail reception on the terrace. Hosted beer, wine, and soft drinks, with passed and stationed hors d'oeuvres. Guests move inside at 6:15 for a three-course plated dinner and the program. We start on time and we finish on time. The program concludes at 8:30 p.m.

Bring your team. This is one of the few nights all year when the harbor's operators, engineers, and decision makers are in the same room without an agenda in front of them.
