General Questions
London International Shipping Week (LISW) is a cluster event, meaning it isn’t centered around a single exhibition hall. Instead, the organisations supporting LISW run their own diverse events, including seminars, cocktail receptions, conferences, and product launches. These events are hosted by international organisations and marine trade associations from all sectors of the shipping industry and are actively supported by the UK Government. Highlights of the week include the official LISW Headline Conference and the LISW Gala Dinner.
The world comes to London during London International Shipping Week, offering unique networking opportunities for the shipping community. Leaders from all sectors of the international and UK shipping industry, including maritime lawyers, brokers, shipowners, ship managers, insurers, and charities, converge in London, making LISW an unparalleled event.
More than 350 individual events will be held in various venues across the heart of London. Many events take place in the city itself, while others utilise the iconic buildings that London has to offer.
Most events are free, apart from the official LISW Headline Conference and the Gala Dinner.
