Port & Terminal Technology is a premier, must-attend industry event, renowned for its success in the United States and set to celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2026.

Whether you’re an engineer, operations manager, or technology partner, this is your opportunity to connect with peers, explore emerging trends, and gain the competitive edge that only firsthand expertise can provide. This conference is specifically tailored for professionals in operations, maintenance, and engineering across a variety of sectors. It attracts representatives from port authorities, terminal operators, consultancy firms, dredging contractors, maritime construction companies, consulting engineers, and suppliers of cargo handling and terminal equipment - essentially anyone involved in the effective development and operation of container ports and terminals worldwide.
Port & Terminal Operators and Shipping Lines receive a 50% discount on the Delegate Registration Fee!Over two days, the event presents a comprehensive, technical program led by an exceptional lineup of industry leaders and market experts. Previous conferences have featured over 24+ technical presentations from top companies and attracted more than 200 participants. Key topics often include strategies for boosting cargo handling productivity, cybersecurity, optimizing Terminal Operating Systems, adapting to larger ships and their impact on port infrastructure, terminal efficiency, environmental concerns, automation, cargo handling simulation, future trends, and much more.
This is an invaluable opportunity for two full days of knowledge-sharing and collaboration, aimed at driving industry-wide improvements in efficiency, sustainability, and profitability. Unlike broad industry conferences, this event is niche by design - bringing together operations leaders, maintenance managers, and engineering specialists to exchange practical insights, explore new technologies, and address shared challenges in container terminal performance, asset reliability, and equipment lifecycle management.The conference also includes an exclusive, niche technical exhibition (open to registered delegates only) featuring leading industry experts, providing unparalleled networking opportunities and visibility.
Our commitment is simple: we deliver a high-caliber event that is not only informative and in-depth but also engaging and enjoyable. It's a prime space for discussion, debate, and networking - helping you stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving industry.
“This is clearly a must-attend event. The learning curve during the event has seen many of the C-level executives in attendance exchanging and applying their vast knowledge and discussing fast-evolving technologies in this 24/7 industry. We have been attending for the last couple of years and every year the organizers come up with new ideas and (innovative) solutions for the container port industry. It is clear that their knowledge of the industry is not only reflected in the conference program but also during the Q&A sessions during the conference.”

“There is only one reason to attend this event – to stay ahead of the competition. The conference program provides us with great ideas for implementation at our port. This could be new opportunities at the gate entrance in order to avoid congestion, all the way down to the quay side, where we could see containers being scanned whilst in transit. Another session that is of great interest to me is ‘Visions of the Future’. In this session they explore the use of AI and port automation. With computer technology evolving rapidly it is quite interesting to find out what the future will bring.”

“This is one of these events – what the title says reflects the content of the conference program. The organizers know exactly what they are doing – by matching the conference topics with the right audience. As an exhibitor we have been attending the event for the last 10 years. The quality of people in attendance has made us one of their returning customers. There is no need for the organizers to make false promises in the number of participants in attendance to attract sponsorship nor attract any other participants. The quality of the participants to this event says it all.”
