The next IAPH Technical Committee Day will take place at the Hilton London Olympia on 2 November, the day before the 2026 IAPH World Ports Conference. This is a full day, in-person-only event, with nine technical sessions across three parallel streams, covering the hottest topics of the IAPH work program, followed by respective meetings of the three main technical committees on Climate and Energy, Data Collaboration and Risk and Resilience. The preliminary agenda has been released and IAPH members are invited to register their attendance at the technical sessions here. Topics to be addressed include IMO progress on decarbonizing shipping, nature and biodiversity in ports, climate resilience, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, port call optimization, safe handling of lithium-ion batteries, rehabilitation of port facilities and Public Private Partnerships, and sustainable cruise port accreditation. Register to help shape the association’s technical agenda for the coming months. For any questions on the agenda or inquiries to contribute, please contact IAPH director, technical committees Masaoki Shirai.
