ITS Convention 2024: industry to gather in Dubai
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will be the next city to host the world’s largest dedicated convention and exhibition covering tugs, towage and salvage when it returns in 2024
The 27th International Tug & Salvage Convention, Exhibition & Awards will take place, in association with Caterpillar Inc, 21-23 May 2024.
Dubai has been chosen as the destination for the tug, towage and salvage community to gather in 2024 due to its unique position as one of the world’s most dynamic business destinations and maritime hubs.
It is a centre for global business and maritime logistics, a gateway into established and emerging markets, and a destination of choice for visitors from around the world.
Riviera Maritime Media will bring the tug, towage and salvage community together once again for this premier event to network and socialise, and to discuss and analyse the latest commercial, operational, regulatory and technical advances.
ITS 2024 Dubai will encompass a highly engaging, thought-provoking conference programme over three days with dedicated sessions covering business and operational challenges, decarbonisation, safety, technology developments, as well as salvage and wreck removal challenges.
This comprehensive programme will be shaped by industry for industry with technical papers, roundtable debates, keynote addresses, exclusive interviews and audience participation through polls, and question and answer sessions.
"A pinnacle of the social programme will be the ITS Gala Dinner and ITS Awards on 23 May 2024"
The extensive exhibition will provide opportunities to showcase expertise and meet clients with social and networking potential during coffee breaks, lunch breaks, and between-conference events.
The Middle East Gulf region is home to a diverse spread of tug and salvage interests and major players such as DP World, Boskalis and P&O Maritime Logistics. We therefore warmly welcome you to ITS 2024 Dubai.
A wide range of social events will be hosted by sponsors including receptions, tug presentations, hospitality areas, partner programmes and late-night parties, enabling delegates to network with industry contacts and make valuable connections.
A pinnacle of the social programme will be the ITS Gala Dinner and ITS Awards on 23 May 2024 where the industry will celebrate the achievements of outstanding vessels, operators, innovators and professionals that raise the bar for safety, sustainability and operational excellence.
ITS Award winners are selected by industry peers, making them a meaningful achievement and testament to operational excellence.
"There are also numerous sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities available to align companies and brands with the world’s largest gathering of tug, towage and salvage experts"
Tickets and passes are now available for ITS Dubai 2024 with four levels: general access to the exhibition; bronze level for attending the ITS gala dinner; and silver level with the ITS 2024 networking and hospitality pass.
Gold level includes access to all the convention can offer, including the three-day conference, exhibition, networking and hospitality events, ITS gala dinner and social events.
Numerous sponsorship and exhibiting opportunities are available to align companies and brands with the world’s largest gathering of tug, towage and salvage experts. Whether your goal is to launch a new product, penetrate a new market sector, increase your market share or improve brand awareness, sponsorship represents an unrivalled opportunity to engage with your target audience in focused surroundings.
More than 1,200 visitors from over 50 countries gathered in Istanbul in 2022 for the 26th ITS Convention.
This is a truly international event, held every two years in different, leading maritime hubs. Since 1969, over 9,000 delegates and 1,250 exhibitors from more than 60 countries have taken part.
2024 will deliver strong visitor numbers as key debates continue and the industry gathers to debate and socialise in the world’s premier gateway hub.
