The Scope of the Conference

ShipIT Conference is a one-day strategic event addressed to the maritime industry, analyzing Information and Communications Technologies’ (ICT) impact on the industry’s operations and business performance. The Conference is creating a unique knowledge exchange and networking platform for the maritime industry, where senior business and IT executives meet, discuss and evaluate how digital technologies improve both business and oper-ational goals.

Aspects of maritime technology, such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation as well as new values such as transparency and collaboration are causing huge changes in the maritime economy and that is why it is so important to be up-to-date and to adapt.

Digitalization and the uptake of technology for the maritime sector will eventually bring the industry up to a whole new level of digital connectedness and have far reaching impact and drive. Disruptive technologies together with the evolution and development of new and interconnected platforms, now offer unparalleled opportunities for growth and col-laboration within shipping. In addition, maritime IoT is already pervasive with connected machines providing real-time data to improve countless aspects of everyday on-board life. Maritime stakeholders must do their very best to help crew and shore side staff, who are often end users of critical Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems for safety, communications, navigation, engine performance monitoring, cargo operations and much more.
