More than 60 industry specialists will speak at CMA Shipping expo & conference which will take place from 13-15 October at the Hilton Stamford Connecticut, USA.
CMA Shipping expo & conference is celebrating both its 36th edition and a return to an ‘in-person’ event after a two-year absence due to the global pandemic.
Chris Morley, Group Director, Maritime, Informa Markets, commented:
The fact that so many speakers have pledged their commitment to this event is indicative of the importance of this agenda to connect the North American shipping community worldwide through a powerful conference programme, complemented by a free to attend exhibition. We are delighted to be back ‘in-person’ and such a high calibre of attendees
This year, CMA Shipping will focus on bringing the industry together after the last challenging two years. As for the agenda, it will address the lessons learned and also the opportunities that lie ahead as trade gets back on track with shipping leading the way.
Another highlight and free to attend is this year’s expo, which features more than 80 world class exhibitors on the expo floor.
According to Chris Morley:
We have seen a real willingness to get back to business and the number and diversity of exhibitor reflects this
Furthermore, the expo hall will showcase technology, maritime equipment, fuel and lubricant, safety and sustainability suppliers, ship repair, navigation and communication, software solutions, energy, salvage and emergency response solutions providers, insurers, and maritime recruiters and entry is free.
Each day will end with a networking event, with Day 3 evening dedicated to the well-attended and certainly much awaited Commodore Gala Dinner & Afterglow at which the 2021 Commodore Lois Zabrocky will be celebrated in style. Zabrocky carries the Commodorship through from the 2020 virtual event and this year will finally have the chance to be recognised and celebrated in person.
Addressing any concerns that the industry may have around attending the event, Mr. Morley added:
We want to reassure you that we will remain vigilant, keeping a close eye on local guidelines and working alongside our venue partner in providing and maintaining a clean and safe environment for all attendeesCMA SHIPPING OPENS ‘IN-PERSON’
