The 32nd annual IAME conference, jointly organized by the University of Valencia, the Port Authority of Valencia and Fundación Valenciaport, will be held in Valencia, Spain, from 25th to 28th of June 2024, under the theme “Building innovative maritime ecosystems: smart, green & valuable for society”.

We want to put the emphasis on the ongoing transformation of the whole ecosystem of our community (ports, shipping, logistics), coming from three critical dimensions. First, a technological revolution that, beyond digitalization, is rapidly incorporating Artificial Intelligence. Secondly, the unavoidable need to progress towards a green Community further rapidly. Thirdly, the awareness that our maritime Community only makes sense when it works in support of, and with the support of, society.

At IAME 2024 we look forward to an active and enriching debate that will allow academics, industry practitioners and policymakers to address pressing concerns and explore innovative solutions for the sector’s critical issues.
