Converting optimism into Trade Growth

(Posted on 01/11/18)

The fourth annual The Maritime Standard Ship Finance and Trade Conference is being held at the Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort on Tuesday 6th November. TMS Ship Finance and Trade Conference has gained in relevance and popularity by bringing together experts from the fields of shipping, ports, banking, finance, trade and maritime law under one roof to discuss and debate the most important contemporary trends and issues facing the market. In particular the event aims to encourage dialogue and co-operation between the various sectors represented to help achieve sustainable growth within the regional shipping and ports sectors, as well as an overall expansion in trade activity.

This Conference features a top quality panel of speakers who are keen to share their knowledge and experience with those attending the event, as well as to point the way forward. Confirmed speakers include some of the most influential personalities and policy makers within the maritime, finance and trade sectors, all with many years of experience in their chosen fields.

The event starts with a keynote session, followed by three distinct conference sessions on a particular theme. The popular ‘one-on-one’ interview with leading innovators and thinkers will return, and there will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions of speakers and panellists at the end of each session.

The Maritime Standard Ship Finance and Trade Conference is now firmly established on the industry calendar and this year the quality of confirmed speakers is poised to raise the event to another level. The event aims to be both enjoyable and informative, and will present a unique opportunity to learn from, and be guided by industry experts, as well as to have the chance to network with business leaders.
