The Charterers – Shipowners – Capital Providers – Regulators, Dialogue
12 March, Hotel Beau-Rivage Geneva
This prestigious conference is where the shipping and trading industry’s clever minds -principals and executives- come together to explore the future.
Here, attendees don’t just listen; they actively engage in vibrant discussions, debating the future of shipping, global trade, geopolitics, energy transition and security, decarbonisation, investments, ship finance, artificial intelligence and digitalisation and the all-important Human Factor.
Unlike traditional conferences packed with monotonous presentations and predictable speeches, Mare Forum is a dynamic platform where discussions come alive. Panellists and attendees interact seamlessly, ensuring every session is an engaging and thought-provoking experience.
Expect a powerful convergence of industry leaders, including shipping executives, shipowners, ship managers, charterers, traders, investors, energy executives, regulators, maritime lawyers, consultants, shipbuilders, classification societies, and innovative entrepreneurs.
This gathering promises unmatched networking opportunities, sparking new ideas and partnerships.
If you work in shipping and trade and want to stay ahead of the curve, you should attend the 8th Mare Forum Geneva 2025.
We look forward to your participation!
