The theme for the IAPH World Ports Conference 2026, held 3-6 November at Olympia, London, is port leadership for a brave new world – plenary sessions during the conference will provide delegates with the key insights they’ll need to find competitive advantages in a rapidly realigning world. On Day 1 (3 November), ‘Shipping Market Review and Outlook’ will provide delegates with an essential briefing on the forces influencing global shipping markets and their implications for ports worldwide. Drawing on the latest industry data and expert analysis, speakers will explore freight market trends, fleet developments, trade forecasts and emerging risks affecting the sector. On Day 2 (4 November), ‘Future fuels mix for shipping ’ will see senior industry experts examine the competing pathways shaping maritime decarbonisation, from the fuels most likely to scale through to the practical implications for port operations and supply chains. This executive-level discussion will help port leaders assess likely adoption scenarios and prepare their organisations for more than one possible future. Book your delegate place at #IAPH2026 today, to hear the insights and strategic thinking needed to navigate the changing fuel landscape with confidence.
