Our theme: Driving growth and recovery in a disrupted world
COVID-19 has taken the world by storm, yet it is only one of many challenges facing a global shipping industry already in flux. LISW21 will explore how the shipping industry can balance its post-COVID recovery against the mounting pressures and opportunities of de-globalisation, decarbonisation, and digitalisation, for the agile, sustainable progression of international trade.
The key drivers of Trade, Finance, Technology and People will be evident throughout the week’s events including the headline LISW21 Conference backed up by the important principles of Environment, Social, and Governance.
The Gala Reception and Dinner will take place on Thursday September 16 2021 and will provide one of the most spectacular black-tie events in the global maritime calendar, attracting well over 1,000 top-level VIPs from all sectors of government and industry.
Venue details for the Gala Dinner to be announced soon.
