FERRY SHIPPING CONFERENCE - onboard
BOLT CONSULTING is, since 2003, the co-founder/co -organiser/moderator of the annual "Ferry Shipping Conference - onboard". For more information regarding this conference, please check out the ShipPax webpage under conferences.
The Ferry Shipping Conference has become so popular over the years and the overwhelming interest shown for the event indicates that again it is likely to be fully booked months in advance next year. From the response, the concept of an annual Ferry Shipping Conference has obviously come to stay. It is not so much a matter of which ship we are on, but the idea to meet and discuss, and to have a new host lead the “baton” that seems appealing.
The strength of this conference is the attendance of so many major ferry companies (a record high this year) and the presence of a “captive audience” onboard a ship.
The Conference Idea
• Commercial performance and related industry topics
• Exciting industry speakers with valuable information
• Interactive debate and conclusions
• A “value for money” price for the conference package
• Networking with industry colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere
• A captive audience onboard
• Dine next to a new potential contact (two dinners with fixed seating)
