Aimed at senior executives within Port and Terminal operating companies, as well as Banking, Legal and Corporate Finance experts from around the world, Port Finance International London will investigate the challenges associated with financing and managing major port investments and developments and will assess the economic criteria of financing and valuating ports.
This two day event is designed to give delegates an in-depth understanding of financing solutions and practical advice. It will also provide an excellent opportunity to meet equity/business partners and senior executives from port authorities, port and terminal operators and from the legal and banking industries to discuss finance options and development requirements.
Additionally the conference will place a spotlight on UK Ports and their plans for expansion and development, whilst also investigating opportunities around the World’s ports for growth and investment.
Here's just a small sample of what some of our past delegates have said about Port Finance International Conferences:
"It was a great pleasure for me be a speaker at Port Finance International Turkey. Thanks again for inviting me as a speaker to such a successful
conference. I strongly believe that both the content and the participants were of very high calibre"
"I wish to congratulate for the quality of the event. It was far better than
I expected and no doubt you can try a redo next year"
"I really enjoyed the event, let's do more of these!"
"I think the seminar was very successful overall and we have picked up some
useful contacts and prospects for UK companies to follow up."
