The IAPH World Ports Conference 2026 promises to convene senior port professionals from across the world for high-level dialogue among their peers and customers, but those experiences won’t be confined to the conference hall. The programme for day 4 of the conference (Friday 6 November) offers unparalleled opportunities to explore London’s maritime past and present, including a newly announced site tour of DP World London Gateway and a cultural tour of the National Maritime Museum. Spaces are very limited, so register today for your chance to secure a spot on one of these exclusive visits. The site tour of DP World London Gateway will provide a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at one of the UK’s most technologically advanced deep-sea container ports and logistics hubs. This will include a multimedia briefing covering the site’s role in the global supply chain, upcoming expansions and environmental considerations. Meanwhile, courtesy of Royal Museums Greenwich, another group of delegates will enjoy a cultural tour of the National Maritime Museum, the largest of its kind in the world, before exploring Cutty Sark, the state-of-the-art Victorian tea clipper that became one of the world’s most famous ships. These visits take place alongside the already announced exclusive River Thames experience offered by the Port of London Authority: an exclusive 2.5-hour cruise along the iconic Thames, showcasing the capital from its most spectacular vantage point. Register today for #IAPH2026 to learn more.
