The Transport Law Commission is delighted to invite you to its seminar “Shipping, trade & cybersecurity: New opportunities and new dangers”, which will take place in Hong Kong on 19-21 April 2018.
Hong Kong is a thriving metropolis with a large trading economy and an expanding maritime service cluster, making it an ideal location for this seminar.
The first part of the seminar will examine the status, opportunities and challenges of the Belt and Road Initiative, which was launched by China in 2013, and use this as a stepping stone to explore current legal issues in shipping and trade and available dispute resolution mechanisms in China and other jurisdictions worldwide.
The second part of the seminar will focus on cybersecurity, which with the increasing digitalization and recent high profile cases has proven to be a very relevant area of concern within shipping and trade.
In the best tradition of AIJA, the seminar will feature both a highly relevant and interesting scientific program with speakers from many different jurisdictions, who are experts within their respective fields of work, and an enjoyable social programme.
We look forward to welcoming you in Hong Kong.
