Dear Colleague
It is with great pleasure to once again deliver the annual Ship Finance & Investment forum, the premier event for the global shipping community.
At this point in time when the industry has felt the pressure of the global economic downturn, the event promises to raise and address the critical issues currently challenging the global shipping and ship finance sector.
With the continued support of Lloyd's List, Lloyd's Shipping Economist and The Baltic Exchange, this year's forum will be the place for the international shipping and ship finance community to gather and discuss the direction of the industry for 2010.
The industry panel discussion on day one is a debate not to be missed as key players from the international shipping community come together to share their perspectives on the recovery of the market and predictions for the year ahead.
Never has there been a better time to convene and gain insight into the future of global shipping through a mix of presentations and lively panel debate.
I look forward to welcoming you at the event in November.
Kind regards
Vanessa Iacomino, Senior Conference Producer
