Smart Digital Ports of the Future
Conference 2021 Winter Edition

Our live events are back! Register today and network with the leading global ports and the entire supply chain. Join us for two action-packed days of best practice debates on the latest developments in automation, sustainability and connectedness.

Key Themes

Collaboration and data sharing

Digital platforms and continued data exchange will be essential to achieve maximum gains in efficiency and predictability in ports. SDP 2021 will showcase the leading technologies allowing the industry to align and progress

Digitalisation and emerging technology

Continued digitalisation will enable the use of big data projects and the implementation of innovative technologies and tools, designed to improve productivity, sustainability, and safety, to previously unattainable benchmarks

Port connectivity

A connected port will allow the fast flow of data between the sensors, devices, equipment, and software applications to enable the smart infrastructure driving ports into the fourth generation

SDP 2021 (Winter Edition) will be live

Due to government mandate, our last SDP event was hosted via our dedicated virtual platform.

However, as restrictions are finally easing, we are delighted to be able to meet up in person to network and discuss the major developments in the industry in our world-renowned live events once again!

This year we will be hosting in the wonderful city of Rotterdam. We can't wait to see you there.
