Innovation in port skills
The Innovation in port skills event is an in-person event taking place during London International Shipping Week. It follows up on the themes in the PSS Innovation in Safety event held in early 2023 and focuses on using AI and gamification to develop port skills.
This event features presentations from ports and technology providers showcasing their latest projects using new technologies. There will be roundtable discussions on upskilling the current workforce, how new technologies could be used for careers and talent attraction to create engaging training. There will also be the opportunity to network, find out more from the speakers and see tech demonstrations.
