You have two more weeks to benefit from the best available price for this year’s IAPH World Ports Conference. The Early Bird rate, which offers a 20% reduction on delegate bookings, expires Tuesday 30 April, after which the regular pricing applies. We therefore recommend that you book your seats now via the conference website. The conference agenda is available online, with new speakers added every week. The agenda consists of three days of plenary and breakout sessions as well as our very first series of hands-on ‘port solution’ immersions, held this year at Hamburg’s cruise and container terminals, with a focus on onshore power supply. In addition, there will be a possibility to play the IAPH Port Endeavor sustainability business game. A general tour of the port of Hamburg is also on offer. Under the theme ‘Managing Risk – Building Resilience – Unlocking Opportunities’ we will be addressing resilience of maritime supply chains, energy security, geopolitical tensions, illicit trafficking and cybersecurity. Dedicated ‘IAPH Project Focus’ sessions will showcase the latest deliverables of our projects on supply chain resilience, clean marine fuel handling and future of work. C-level panel discussions will address port leadership in data collaboration and climate action. We will also dive into market developments, the regulatory agenda of IMO and port governance – with the introduction of the new World Bank Port Reform Toolkit as a highlight. Plans for social events are taking shape as well, with the welcome reception already booked at the Atlantic Hotel, one of the most resplendent maritime heritage hotels in the world.
