TOC Global Showcase 2021: Recovery & Refocus

World class event to start on May 31st

This brand new virtual experience – the first of its kind lasting for three weeks – gives the globe’s ports and terminal community the chance to erase boundaries and get together, uniting continents and making the maritime & port sector feel like one big family spread out across the world. In that spirit, TOC Global Showcase plans to shed light on all those issues that affect the industry, not just highlighting the differences from one region to another, but rather pointing out those things in common. In just one week and for the better part of the month of June, TOC Global Showcase will cover everything from market intelligence to standards, digital transformation, and the presence of women in ports, among other key topics that are relevant in the terminal & operations industry and across the main TOC markets: Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

This new take on the 40-year history of TOC Events is a sign of the importance of combining track record and the ability to adapt to new circumstances, which is precisely what the ‘Recovery & Refocus’ event motto stands for.

“The TOC Global Showcase is now only 1 week away, and we are very much looking forward to bringing the industry together in an online environment to discuss the most pertinent issues facing the sector.  It is a time of great importance for the industry and where perhaps its finds itself at a crossroads for development. The events of 2020 have radically shaken operational norms and as we slowly return to physical and economic normality, the industry must now use this opportunity to not only refocus on its digital and sustainable efforts but continue in advancing and improving its operational effectiveness in this new environment,” says Sam Light, Content Manager, TOC Events Worldwide.

 

An agenda for all

The virtual experience has something in store for all stakeholders in the port and terminal industry, providing a rich environment for discussing solutions to common current and future challenges. “Continuing to provide the market leading content from TOC Events, this global virtual event will showcase the latest innovations being implemented into operational processes in ports & terminals across the globe,” reads the promotional brochure for the event.

From 31st May to 18th June 2021, this experience will deliver 10+ webinars focusing on the most pertinent issues facing the sector, alongside a plethora of other content including podcasts, interviews, and equipment demonstrations. 

Among the topics, there will be sessions dedicated to Market Intelligence, Digital Transformation, Green Transition, Digital Transformation: Spotlight on Digital Twins, Port Operations: Spotlight on Equipment, Maintenance, Automation, Port Operations: Spotlight on Port Safety and Standards.
