Its unique structure encourages cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that voices from every part of the maritime value chain are represented.

One of the most notable aspects of the event is its slate of key speakers, highlighted by a representative from the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Additional keynote speakers will include visionary leaders from major shipowning companies, experts in maritime AI and automation, and pioneers in green propulsion and fuel-transition strategies.
