There is never a dull moment in shipping. And Slide2Open aims to live up to this adage by constantly acting as an incubator of ideas within the shipping community and beyond.
Slide2Open Shipping Finance 2025 returns for its 8th annual conference. Our Advisory Board and Working Groups have been tirelessly engaged throughout the year, contributing to discussions, shaping pioneering standards, generating influential green and white papers, thereby making a lasting impact on the global shipping community.
The 8th Slide2Open Shipping Finance aims to be a 360 Compendium of Shipping, where Conference and Concert unite for the first time ever in such context. Shipping has talent! Dialogue and Innovation combined with a strong Artistic Inspiration.
Mark your calendars for a day of forward-thinking discussions, networking opportunities, and musical performances, as we gather in Athens with the aim to continue the constructive transformation of the shipping industry, the exchange of ideas and, why not, have some fun in between!
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
