Bjorn Hojgaard, the CEO of Anglo-Eastern Univan Group, the world’s largest shipmanager, is the latest high-profile name to agree to speak at September’s Splash Singapore, a new event from the organisers of Geneva Dry that is rapidly shaping up to be Asia’s top shipowner summit.
Hojgaard will take the stage for the opening Big Issues panel, moderated by Splash editorial director Sam Chambers, with other confirmed speakers for this scene-setting opener including Jeremy Sutton, the CEO of Swire Shipping, John Su, the CEO of Erasmus Shipinvest Group, and Nick Potter, the CEO of AET.
Built on eight editions of the Maritime CEO Forum Singapore, Splash Singapore brings a proven conference philosophy to a bigger stage: no presentations, no slides, no selling – just the most senior figures in global shipping in genuine, unscripted conversation about the issues that matter.
The event will be held at the Fairmont Hotel, the day before the city-state’s famous annual dinner held by the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA).
With the support of Singapore Maritime Foundation, panels will be packed full of shipowners, shipmanagers and charterers.
Other sessions include specials on tankers, dry bulk, and chartering. Much interest surrounds the event’s AI, Digitalisation, And The Maritime Workforce session.
There’s also the brand new SpashTech Digital Leaders Forum with organisers unveiling an all-star lineup today for this high-impact session. The business of maritime tech, AI innovation, and a dive into what is actually working for shipowners and what isn’t will all be up for discussion in the session moderated by Su Yin Anand, the CEO of GlobalOre and co-founder of The Captain’s Table, one of the world’s preeminent maritime pitch competitions. Speakers for this session include Ben Palmer, the president of Viasat Commercial, Ingrid Kylstad, managing director of Klaveness Digital, Jean Maynier, president and co-founder of Kpler, Marina Hadjipateras, co-founder of TMV and Nakul Malhotra, vice president at Wilhelmsen Group.
“The calibre of speakers signing up for Splash Singapore has exceeded even our highest expectations and says a great deal about the appetite within shipping for frank, high-level debate at a time of enormous industry change. Across every session we are bringing together some of the most influential decision-makers in global maritime – from shipowners and charterers to digital pioneers and tech innovators,” said Grant Rowles, the event’s co-founder.
Registration is priced at just S$750. Special discounted hotel room rates at the Fairmont have been secured exclusively for Splash Singapore delegates, making it straightforward to combine attendance with an extended stay in Singapore to attend many other events taking place in late September.
