The World Ports Conference agenda is accompanied by a series of IAPH working meetings, including the Women’s Forum and Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 18 May and the Technical Committee meetings on Thursday 19 May. On Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 May, prior to the start of the conference sessions, the six IAPH regions will meet in parallel breakfast meetings, under the leadership of their vice-presidents. The agenda focuses on the results of the pre-conference regional workshops which will be presented for discussion and follow-up. Registered conference delegates will be sent the summary reports of each pre-conference workshop in the second half of April. Each regional breakfast session will also have a presentation on the IAPH Environmental Ship Index (ESI), providing exclusive insight in the plans to include the latest IMO carbon intensity norms for ships and to develop an ‘emissions at berth’ module. The breakfast meetings and all other IAPH meetings are freely accessible to all conference delegates.
