THE 10th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference, an annual signature event for the industries jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, is being held online for the first time.
Running on 17 and 18 November under the theme “Capturing Opportunities Amidst Volatility”, ALMAC Online will focus on three key areas – rebuilding supply chain resilience under the new normal, Asia’s evolving role in global supply chains, and the trendsetting technologies and innovations for re-invigorating logistics operations and management.
More than 40 leaders from the logistics, maritime and aviation sectors will share their insights at the event, which is expected to attract around 2000 industry participants from 25 countries and regions.
HKTDC deputy executive director Patrick Lau said, “The COVID-19 pandemic is creating significant obstacles to the global business environment, making this an unsettling year for the logistics, maritime and aviation industries.
“Industry representatives, professionals and stakeholders from across the globe will be able to participate and interact during the online conference.
“Industry leaders and experts will share their valuable experiences and strategies on supply chain resilience in the new normal and offer forecasts for global economic development in the post-pandemic world.”
Dr Lau added that various new functions will be launched on the ALMAC Online platform, including business matching empowered by artificial intelligence and virtual meetings to bring together experts, shippers and participants to facilitate international exchanges and connections at any time.
