The 15th Annual Capital Link Greek Shipping Forum will take place on Friday, February 7, 2025 at the Athenaeum Intercontinental Athens in Greece. The Forum is held in partnership with DNV and in cooperation with NASDAQ and NYSE.

Featuring the institutional and industry leadership of global shipping, this forum will address the industry's main trends and challenges, as well as the opportunities that lie ahead and strategies to compete in an increasingly complex and demanding landscape.

The industry is impacted by major factors such as geopolitics, energy security, regulations, shifts in trade routes, global economic trends, commerce, and more. In this environment, the role of shipping as the link in the global supply chain remains vital.
