In line with the theme of this year’s IAPH World Ports Conference – Port leadership for a brave new world – plenary sessions at the London event will offer delegates an insight into critical conversations happening right now in maritime c-suites across the globe. On 4 November at 14.30 GMT, an expert panel will explore AI-powered maritime intelligence to strengthen resilience of port operations. How can AI-powered maritime intelligence, collaborative optimisation, and just-in-time arrival coordination redefine what it means for a port to be truly resilient? Then at 16.05 GMT, industry leaders will address the competitiveness and security of maritime energy hubs – national administrations are concerned not only with securing energy for national interests but also with looking at becoming liquid bulk hubs for low- and zero-carbon energy commodities. The panel will reflect on resilience, investment, sustainability and geopolitical risk. Held 3-6 November at Olympia in Kensington, IAPH2026 is where port leaders make the breakthroughs that count and the connections that matter. Register today.
