Registration is officially open for the 2026 IAPH World Ports Conference – the leading global business gathering of port professionals. IAPH members are invited to take advantage of the Early Bird rate, which will be available until 31 May. #IAPH2026 will convene senior port professionals from across the world in London – the intelligence hub of global shipping – for four days of high-level dialogue among shipowners, investment banks, cargo owners, insurers, regulators, thought leaders and providers of state-of-the-art technology. Taking place 3-6 November, at the world-famous Olympia, #IAPH2026 takes as its theme ‘Port leadership for a brave new world’. The 3 November welcome reception will take place at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the Albert Embankment, giving delegates the opportunity to meet with national state representatives. The second day will conclude with a showpiece gala dinner at another of London’s most iconic venues: the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. Within the museum’s breathtaking historic halls, guests will enjoy an evening of fine dining, networking and celebration, surrounded by a world-renowned collection, and culminating in a prestigious ceremony to reveal the winners of the 2026 IAPH Sustainability Awards. The awards honour the very highest quality port-sustainability projects from around the world submitted to the World Port Sustainability Program (WPSP) database. Register today to secure your spot at this unmissable gathering of the world’s maritime professionals!
