            Join
 us in Las Palmas in October 2017 to mark 65 years of ICHCA 
International working to improve the safety, efficiency and 
sustainability of the cargo handling industry worldwide. Our special 
Anniversary Event is kindly hosted by the Port of Las Palmas, Gran 
Canaria, Spain, a thriving and diverse centre for cargo, cruise, 
fishing, ship supply and offshore services, a key hub for African 
international trade, and home to ICHCA?s Canaries and Africa Region 
Chapter (CARC). The Conference will be looking towards the future of 
cargo handling through 5 key sessions on how to make the global cargo 
chain SAFE, SMART, SUSTAINABLE, SECURE and SKILLED.
 ICHCA's flagship event promises to bring together the big names in 
cargo handling to discuss the best ways to improve as an industry.
            
            
            
            
            
            At
 a time of great change for world trade, shipping, port and land 
transport operations, including exponential developments in digital and 
automation technologies, ICHCA?s 65th Anniversary Event is a chance to 
reflect on the journey so far and look ahead to the future. How can all 
the supply chain stakeholders come together to deliver safer, more 
efficient and sustainable cargo handling from first to last mile? How 
can best practice be disseminated and implemented on a truly global 
scale? And what role can innovative technology play in addressing 
current and future challenges? 
            
            
            
            
            
            
            These
 are just some of the big issues to be explored in a high-level 2-day 
conference on 3-4 October, focused on continuous improvement and 
information sharing in safety in cargo handling and operational 
efficiency around the globe. The conference will be complemented by an 
exhibition of products and services, plus plenty of formal and informal 
networking opportunities.
