IAPH World Ports Conference 2023

The IAPH World Ports Conference is a world-class event that highlights the indispensable role of ports in global maritime trade. It brings together key industry stakeholders to promote learning, information sharing, networking and collaboration.

Marking the first time this prestigious maritime event has taken place within the MENA region, the Conference attracted leading port operators from around the world and featured a speaker line-up comprising the industry’s most influential figures.

 

IAPH 2023 Theme - #ReinventingPorts

Ports have reached a pivotal stage in their evolution, operating solely as landlords of terminal and industrial concessions no longer guarantees economic growth and prosperity; they must evolve and adapt to remain relevant. Factors such as end-to-end maritime supply chain conglomerates, rapid digitalisation, calls for decarbonisation in shipping, and geo-political instability have emerged, accelerating the requirement to enhance resilience and readiness to address these challenges. 

Under the theme #ReinventingPorts, the 2023 IAPH World Ports Conference united major players in the ports sector to discuss and innovate effective ways to tackle these challenges.

Webinars: Anchoring Global Ports’ Future

AD Ports Group’s IAPH webinars bring together leading voices to offer a unique opportunity for knowledge sharing, presenting a forward-looking perspective to ensure that stakeholders don't just react to changes, but proactively shape the future of the ports and supply chain industries.
