Commodity & Maritime Intelligence Drinks – Houston
On April 23rd, Cordell Beaumont hosted an evening of drinks and conversation at Kirby Ice House in Houston, bringing together professionals across commodity insights, maritime software and energy analytics. A small but sharp group, and by the founder’s own account, some genuinely valuable conversations came out of it.
The evening was part of a wider few days on the ground in Houston, where the team also spent time meeting clients and continuing to build momentum in the US market. A good reminder that nothing replaces being present, face to face with the people shaping the industry.
