London International Shipping Week 2021 Update
London International Shipping Week Newsletter
LISW21 – ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE
London International Shipping Week (LISW) is the must-attend event in the shipping industry’s calendar. LISW21 will provide the opportunity for the maritime community to get back together again face-to-face for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
How does it work?
LISW is a cluster event. This means that rather than being centred around an exhibition hall, the organisations supporting LISW run their own events. These events are many and varied, and include seminars, cocktail receptions, conferences and product launches. They are run by international organisations and marine trade associations from all sectors of the shipping industry, and the week is actively supported by the UK Government. Highlights of the week include the official LISW Headline Conference and the LISW Gala Dinner, both of which will be in-person events. A wide variety of virtual events will also feature during the week.
Who will be there?
The world comes to London during London International Shipping Week, providing unique networking opportunities for the shipping community. Leaders across all sectors of the international and UK shipping industry, maritime lawyers, brokers, shipowners, shipmanagers, insurers, charities – all come to London – and ensure that LISW is an event like no other.
Where does it take place?
More than 200 individual events will be run in venues across the heart of London. Many take place in the city itself, others make use of the iconic buildings London has to offer, including the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) headquarters and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
What does it cost?
Almost all LISW events, including in person and virtual events, are free of charge to attend apart from the official LISW Headline Conference and the Gala Dinner.
What about COVID?
The world is opening up again, and LISW will be the one of the first major face to face events in the shipping calendar since the pandemic began. Individual event organisers will be following all government guidelines, all with an emphasis on putting in person contact back on the agenda.
What if I can’t get to London?
For those without the time or ability to travel into the UK the LISW team has launched the LISW21 Portal. Based on the industry leading Swapcard system, thousands of international visitors who register with the Portal will be able to seamlessly participate in LISW, register and log on to online events as well as undertake high level business networking.
