Asian Logistics and Maritime Conference: Around 2,000 participants expected

On November 19 and 20, international experts from the logistics and shipping industry will meet at the 9th Asian Logistics and Maritime Conference (ALMC) in Hong Kong. Around 2,000 participants and over 60 speakers are expected to attend the conference. The Hong Kong Maritime Week flagship event will focus on three main topics: networking within Asia, customer experiences in e-commerce and logistics technologies.

Topics will include the impact of the development of the Greater Bay Area, different trade agreements and development strategies within Asia and the further integration of different trade and supply chains on the industry.

Asia's role in logistics
The ALMC will focus on two plenary sessions. On the first day of the event, speakers will discuss the position of Asian supply chains in the context of geopolitical challenges and the adaptation of strategies. Leading logistics service providers and company representatives will share their views on how Asia can play a greater global role.

The following day will focus on the role of customers in e-commerce. Representatives from service providers, online sales platforms and innovative start-ups will present their strategies for improving supply chain management, strengthening customer loyalty and upcoming trends.

Focus on logistics technologies
The InnoTalks shed light on new technologies and their impact on the entire industry. Experts will discuss the application of technologies such as AI, robotic automation, big data and smart supply chains for the logistics industry. At MarketTalks, industry representatives from overseas will provide market insights for providers of global logistics services, for example from the food and textile industries.

Around 100 exhibitors
In addition, exhibitions and networking events are intended to promote exchange between participants. Around 100 exhibitors will present their products, services and solutions ranging from supply chain management to technology applications in e-commerce in the exhibition area of the 2019 event, which will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).
