The premier shipping event in Greece
TradeWinds is again pleased to bring together key shipowners, operators, financiers,
brokers and advisers to debate where shipping stands today amid this rapidly changing
world of market upheavals, economic uncertainty, technological revolution and intense
regulatory scrutiny.
The only thing everyone agrees is that yesterday’s certainties can no longer be taken for
granted. But how do you adapt your business to be among the winners in this era of
unprecedented change? We hope to stimulate discussion around these key points to help
you set your own agenda.
