Bahri, Norden and the World Economic Forum latest names to agree to speak at Geneva Dry
The roster of speakers for the inaugural Geneva Dry continues to make headlines for the calibre of names agreeing to take to the stage.
Designed to be the annual global summit for the dry bulk shipping community, the event now boasts an extraordinary mix of shipowners, trading companies, miners and tech providers, all due to convene at the Hotel President Wilson on the shores of Lake Geneva on May 2 and 3 this year.
The latest names added to the speaker list are Mette Asmussen, lead maritime sector initiatives at the World Economic Forum as well as Jan Rindbo, CEO of Danish shipowner Norden and Sarah Al Qahtani, chartering manager at Saudi Arabia’s number one shipping concern, Bahri, joining a host of other well known shipowners on stage such as CMB’s Alexander Saverys, Andrian Dacy from JP Morgan, Edward Buttery from Taylor Maritime Investments, CTM’s John Michael Radziwill, Martin Fruergaard from Pacific Basin, Niels Josefsen from Lauritzen Bulkers, Cetus Maritime’s Olivia Lennox-King, SwissMarine’s Peter Weernink, Scott Bergeron from Oldendorff Carriers, Lila Global’s Steve Kunzer and Wah Kwong’s William Fairclough among others with a raft of other owners due to be unveiled shortly.
There are now less than four months to go until the first edition of Geneva Dry with more than 100 companies signed up to attend and rooms at the event’s hotel close to selling out.
The high-level summit is split into relevant sectors to make delegates’ time more targeted and rewarding. Sessions include minor bulks; agri-commodities; coal; iron ore; and decarbonisation as well as an entire afternoon devoted to digital including a workshop on how to make data actionable and a debate on the future of fixing.
