The stage for tomorrow's port solutions

all about ports is the new event for the future of port operations. Combining a conference and exhibition, it is the first event to provide a comprehensive overview of all structures and processes in ports. International decision-makers meet here to shape resilient and climate-neutral ports alongside the world’s leading maritime trade fair, SMM.

Knowledge, trends and solutions for resilient ports.

The all about ports not only offers exhibition space for exciting products and new solutions. The specialised conference delivers three days of keynotes, panels and workshops on the most pressing topics in port operations from digitalization and automation to sustainability, security and smart logistics.

More than just logistics

all about ports is the platform for a holistic view of modern port infrastructure, technology and processes. It combines innovation, sustainability, safety and service – from cargo handling to the passenger experience.
