You are cordially invited to the 7^th Busan International Port Conference hosted by Busan Port Authority.

In response to rapid climate change, eco-friendly energy utilization and sustainable development have been required all over the world. Furthermore, in order to respond to the movement towards digitalization of almost everything, the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence(AI) and big data in the field, and the combination of distribution and logistics etc, there are various trends of change in all facets of the industries these days.

This year, under the theme of “Pursuing Certainty in Times of Uncertainty”, we will not only analyze and forecast global shipping trends, but also make the most of the digital transition of port logistics and the growth of sustainable ports.

We are excited to look for future development directions centering on the new flow of logistics as well. I hope the 7^th Busan International Port Conference will be held as a festival for sharing the latest knowledge about our industry that will lead the global economy and to discuss new ideas freely as professionals of the core service industry leading the economic revolution in the age of the Industry 4.0. We kindly ask for your interest and participation in the international port conference.
