, we’ve decided to centre content topics around our overarching theme, ‘Maximising potential: Opportunities and Optimisation’. This is to reflect current trends and developments in the trade sector, from more frequent digitalisation in the sector, to a more automated supply chain, all to encourage a highly efficient and reliable trading system.
Current issues facing the sector span from the need to track and trace cargo, to supply chain instability and the increased demand for international exports. Discussing and addressing these factors is important, more than ever.
