SMART DIGITAL PORTS OF THE FUTURE

Championing the Next Generation of Efficient and Connected Ports

11th - 12th May 2022

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Join us in Rotterdam on 11^th & 12^th May for the return of Smart Digital Ports of the Future to a live, in-person event attended by the industry’s leading innovators, and representatives from the world’s smartest ports.

This year’s event will showcase the technologies that are transforming the way ports do business – from discussions about standardisation and data sharing, to technical case studies from the most advanced ports, on how they are unpacking the potential of emerging technologies such as AI, Digital Twin and IoT applications and many more.

We are pleased to announce that this event will be fully live and hosted at the nhow Hotel in Rotterdam, providing a return to the format that best allows the cultivation of ideas, promotes industry knowledge sharing and provides the opportunity, once again, to meet with industry colleagues.

This year, ports and terminals attend for free! Be sure to register yourself and your colleagues for tickets soon to guarantee your place on the floor for the first live Smart Digital Ports of the Future since 2019.

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 in May 2022 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 through 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.
