Event description
The Shipping Network Singapore’s networking events are structured yet informal gatherings for senior professionals across logistics, freight forwarding, and maritime. Each event has two parts: short presentations and moderated conversations led by industry speakers, followed by a networking session with food and drinks—so participants can exchange ideas and build relationships across chambers of commerce and industry partners.
Theme and programme
Theme: Talent and Leadership
Logistics
Leadership and Talent Development in the Logistics Sector
Building capabilities for sustainable growth and organisational resilience
Maritime
Developing Maritime Leaders for a Changing Industry
Skills, succession, and long-term workforce strategies
The event opens with a panel of hiring managers, HR leaders, recruiters, headhunters, and university professors examining how talent, hiring, and leadership are evolving across maritime, logistics, and supply chain—and what organisations must do to stay ahead.
This is followed by a second panel marking the International Day for Women in Maritime, focusing on how the industry can turn commitment into progress through safer workplaces, fairer career pathways, and more visible opportunities for women at sea and ashore.
