Our Vision
Smart Maritime Network is returning to Singapore on 26 January 2022 for the 3rd annual SMN Singapore forum.
The maritime sector is a very exciting place to be right now. Innovation is at an all-time high and the speed and adoption of digital technologies in the industry has only been accelerated by the situation over the past 18 months.
Indeed, in recent times, the importance placed on transporting cargo by sea has meant that there are more eyes than ever on our industry – and that includes far reaching and public issues such as investment and ROI.
Alongside this is the global call for a more sustainable future – with shipping being tasked with the need to harness technologies to create an even more efficient industry, which is reshaping maritime operations and investments in an unprecedented way.
So how does an historically volatile and unpredictable industry transform, especially in a time of uncertainty? At SMN Singapore we will delve into this question and look at how digitalisation is paving the way for a more efficient, more sustainable, and better-connected maritime supply chain.

Conference Health & Safety Measures
To safeguard the health and safety of all attendees at the Smart Maritime Network Singapore Conference the following measures and guides are being taken.
Now that we are all slowly emerging from the restrictions necessitated by the recent COVID-19 crisis, SMN is very pleased to be returning to hosting our series of conferences to facilitate safe and conscientious in-person meetings with our partners and industry peers. To safeguard the wellbeing of all of our attendees, we will be strictly following the guidelines of the local health authorities in our host countries, as well as adopting best practices recommended by major business conference and event organiser associations, such as PCMA, UFI and AEO.*
In line with current local restrictions and guidelines, the physical event taking place in Singapore is currently limited to invited guests, speakers and SMN sponsors only. Please note – your invitation is not transferable.
All other guests are invited to join the parallel virtual event, which is free of charge. This will enable sharing of the live and virtual presentations, as well as interaction between all participants.
We are also working very closely with our venue and suppliers to ensure the measures in place during SMN Singapore will provide a safe, pleasant and productive experience for all our guests.

- Tea/coffee, lunch and end of day networking drinks will be served at your table by the hotels own staff only and at strict distancing.
- Before and throughout the conference the venue will follow strict sanitisation and cleaning protocols – this includes sanitising all microphones between each use and providing sanitising gel for speakers to use prior to taking the stage.
- We will strictly follow additional on-site audience hygiene guidelines, such as the provision of hand sanitisation stations throughout the venue for your convenience, as well as temperature checking upon arrival at
- We will be asking our Sponsors and Partners to limit the amount of physical materials they distribute on-site.
Pre-Event and Arrival:
- We will be encouraging and reminding all delegates of the importance of adhering to recommended personal hygiene etiquette, such as washing and disinfecting hands regularly, and wearing facemasks where appropriate.
- Participants will be asked to wear a face mask on entry, if appropriate, in line with local government and health authority advice.
- We will be asking any delegates with any symptoms of illness to refrain from attending the conference.

In line with current guidelines issued by the authorities in Singapore we are only able to host 100 delegates in person. SMN Singapore is therefore currently an invitation only event.

*Please note: Delegates from shipping companies (owners, managers, ports, terminals, yards) will be invited to join free of charge. Delegates working in technology/software/service/equipment/manufacturing/consultancies will be charged a fee of €675 – you will be asked if you accept these conditions before your place is confirmed. Your company details will also be checked for compliance with delegate policies. If you have any questions about this, please contact cathy.hodge@smartmaritimenetwork.com
Delegates are reminded that it is their own responsibility to consider any visa, travel or health restrictions. Please check with the Singapore authorities and the authorities in your own country before traveling.

*SMN Events Registration Statement:
Smart Maritime Network is committed to holding our events in full compliance with all health and safety protocols as advised by our venues, suppliers and host authorities. We are aiming to hold the conferences with a live audience, synchronised with a virtual broadcast and audience where necessary (when on-site attendance numbers are limited).
The number of “live” (physical) delegates will be dependent upon the in-country restrictions at the time. For this reason, registrations are by invitation only. Requests to join the waiting list for an invitation are accepted via this form only, with any available in-person registrations allocated on a first come first served basis as local restrictions permit.
Please note, for both free attendance and in-person attendance, priority will be given first to SMN Sponsors and Speakers, then to end users**, followed by Smart Maritime Council Members.
All other applicants may join SMN conferences by purchasing a delegate ticket. This is €675.00. You may register for your in-person delegate ticket by contacting us using the above form. We will contact you prior to the conference to collect payment. Please note: Any tickets that remain unpaid will not be given access to the conference.
In the event that we are not able to offer you a physical delegate place you may be offered either a free virtual place or a credit to a future SMN conference.
We hope you will understand that in the current climate we need to be resilient and able to react to any changing circumstances, especially those that are outside our control. There may be changes to conference dates, locations, agendas and attendance numbers. We will always do our best to minimise any disruption and we apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused. We cannot accept any responsibility for any travel, accommodation or other costs that may be incurred as a result of changes to event programmes. We advise you to book flexible tickets/accommodation where possible. All participants attend an SMN conference at their own risk.
**For SMN conferences “end users” refers to ship owners/managers, ports and terminal owners/operators, BCOs and other targeted operators as defined by the organisers. If you are not sure whether you qualify for free registration, or if you would like to discuss becoming an SMN Sponsor, please contact cathy.hodge@smartmaritimenetwork.com
