From 14 to 16 March 2018, Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) will gather key industry players and thought leaders within the global maritime industry for three days of knowledge exchange, networking and business-building. The 15th edition will also welcome 18 official pavilions, including Greece and Spain which will be present for the first time. Throughout the three days, the biennial event expects to host more than 1,500 exhibiting companies, represented at over 630 booths from 60 countries, and over 15,000 trade visitors from around Asia.

As a testament to its global standing, APM 2018 will bring together 18 official pavilions from Austria, Australia, China, Denmark, Finland, France, German, Greece, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan Shipbuilding Industry Association (TSIA), The Netherlands and United Kingdom.

In further cementing its position as a must-attend knowledge exchange platform, APM has added even more industry veterans to its conference line-up.

Amongst these is Chief Digital Officer Asia of CMA-CGM, Ed Stening – a proven digital transformation leader whose career spans varied industries including advertising, healthcare and marketing. At “Digital Disruption – Outside the Maritime Box” (14 March), Stening and other panellists will explore various digital disruptors and how they have impacted dynamics in the maritime industry. A huge believer of innovation, Ed will also speak at “Innovation in Maritime”, a session organised in conjunction with the France-Singapore Year of Innovation.
