Following cancellation of this year’s Posidonia Exhibition, organisers have announced they will bring together leading maritime media and organisations during what would have been Posidonia expo week (26–30 October) for a series of web conferences and forums under the banner ‘It’s time to talk’. At this critical time, the initiative will create an opportunity for the maritime community to debate crucial issues and the many challenges it faces.

Global disruption caused by Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the shipping industry, compounded by the cancellation of conferences and events that would normally offer a platform for meetings and debate. Now, more than ever, is the time for the shipping industry to talk again and re-open channels for exchanging ideas and exploring solutions.

“We are delighted that Posidonia Web Forums Week will be taking place in October, with a programme of exciting web events hosted by our partner organisations: TradeWinds, Lloyd’s List, Seatrade Maritime, YES Forum and MariMatch,” enthused Theodore Vokos, Managing Director of Posidonia Exhibitions S.A. “Once again, Posidonia is bringing maritime communities together. That’s what Posidonia is all about”.

Further web events will be announced in due course. Throughout the week, audience participants will see and hear top ship-owners and operators debate key topics, including the post-pandemic business environment for shipping. 

The events listing will be posted on: www.posidonia-events.com
