Supported Event – IAPH World Ports Conference 2026

The IAPH World Ports Conference 2026 will bring together senior port and maritime leaders from across the globe in London for four days of high-level dialogue, debate and collaboration.

Taking place against a backdrop of geopolitical realignment, growing security threats, trade uncertainty, climate change and rapid technological disruption, the Conference will explore how ports can remain competitive, resilient and secure in an increasingly unpredictable world.

Bringing together port leaders with shipowners, cargo owners, regulators, investors, insurers, technology providers and other key industry stakeholders, #IAPH2026 will examine the strategic challenges and opportunities shaping the future of global trade and maritime infrastructure.

Key themes will include the future of global trade and strategic alliances, security across physical and digital domains, the energy transition, investment and infrastructure, port-city relationships, AI and automation, and emerging cargo markets.

Through compelling keynote sessions, high-level roundtables, practical workshops, showcase sessions and industry excursions, the Conference will provide delegates with strategic insight, practical ideas and opportunities to build the partnerships needed to navigate change and unlock future growth.

IAPH World Ports Conference 2026 is where the global port community comes together to tackle the difficult questions, challenge conventional thinking and shape the future of ports.
