Basilico, Conrad Singapore Orchard

Networking event for senior professionals in logistics and maritime. Short presentations cover data and AI in shipping, integrated HR and ERP, project logistics, adaptive warehouse automation, and digital employees in logistics—followed by moderated discussion and networking with food and drinks.

Event description

The Shipping Network Singapore’s networking events are designed as structured yet informal gatherings for senior professionals across the logistics, freight forwarding, and maritime sectors. Each event is divided into two distinct parts.

  1. The first part features short presentations and moderated conversations led by selected industry speakers, offering focused insights on strategic and operational topics relevant to the sector. This segment is designed to set context, stimulate reflection, and introduce shared themes for discussion.
  2. The second part transitions into a networking session with food and drinks, giving participants the opportunity to continue conversations in an informal setting, strengthen professional relationships, and expand their networks across chambers of commerce and industry partners.

This format balances content and connection, creating a dynamic environment that encourages both knowledge exchange and meaningful professional interaction.
