The Mare Forum conferences are considered by many to be among the most global and influential forums for the maritime and shipping industry. Currently events are held in Europe, North, Central and South America, Asia and the Middle East.

Views are shared and debated from ship-owners and ship-operators, charterers, traders, analysts, bankers, consultants and entrepreneurs, classification societies, regulators, maritime lawyers, port and terminal operators, yacht owners and yacht services representatives, the media and other members of the maritime community from the region and all over the world who take an active part at these prestigious conferences. The conferences provide an interactive forum to participants to network, learn, discuss and debate all contemporary and future themes in the shipping, marine, yachting and maritime industries and the world.

High level session chairmen, speakers, session panelists, discussion panelists and audience contribute to a day packed with knowledge transfer, exchange of visions, experience and stimulating discussions.
