We meet in Mariehamn, Åland, and share views, challenges and opportunities. In the Congresscenter Alandica there are 140+ exhibitors with offers and information. On stage you will meet the brightest brains from the Shipping Cluster all over. In the evening we all gather for a delicious meal and a great party. Welcome to Åland!
