New speakers announced for World Ports Conference

We are delighted to welcome two new speakers who will join us in Abu Dhabi at the 2023 IAPH World Ports Conference from 31 October till 2 November. Elisabeth Munck af Rosenschöld, global sustainability manager for supply chain operations at Inter IKEA Group, will offer her insights on a panel of cargo owners and their influence on the direction and reinvention of global ports. Elisabeth and other shippers will discuss what they need most from ports and port authorities. Kitack Lim, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization, will be joining a keynote panel discussing the concrete decarbonisation deliverables shipping and ports have to offer at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28), which will be held just weeks after the IAPH conference, in Dubai. More speakers are being confirmed as we go along and we expect the programme to be complete by early June. Under the theme ‘Reinventing Ports’, the conference agenda will give ports new ideas for business opportunities through reinvention, evolution and collaboration, combining strategic discussions on energy transition, cargo perspectives on supply chain resilience, new ideas on governance and port authority leadership with practical, hands-on sessions that will also showcase the varied IAPH sustainability toolbox for ports. The conference further features market outlooks on breakbulk, cruise and containers, as well as exclusive innovation roundtables. Early bird rates are available till 20 May, so make sure you book your seats early.
