Preducing this edition of P&H revolved around the upcoming IAPH World Ports Conference that will take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. If you have not registered for the conference, perusal of the magazine in front of you - or on your screen - might convince you to do so as we have put together a preview for you that should allow you to get a feel of what to expect during the three-day conference. If you do hold a physical copy of the magazine in your hands, it is more likely you are doing so while already in attendance at the conference - if so, I look forward to catching up with you - and the notion of the preview, in absence of a printed conference guide, holds true nevertheless. From distinguished speakers such as the new IAPH associate and first cargo-owning member IKEA, the World Bank, the World Customs Organization and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, better known under its abbreviation UNCTAD, there are many discussions to be had and concrete expert guidance for transformational topics, such as around the maritime single window, to be launched during our time in Abu Dhabi. |
