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.
