CTAC: Container Terminal Automation Conference

Germany, Hamburg - March 14-15, 2023
The Container Terminal Automation Conference will take place on the 14th - 15th March 2023 In Hamburg, Germany. You'll be joining Europe's Terminals technology hub which caters to both Ports and Terminals, with a focus on collaboration.
CTAC has evolved greatly since it's automation-focused inaugural edition, and we are pleased that this year's event will continue that evolution, with two days dedicated to all thing's container terminal technology, innovation and automation.
This year's edition will feature the community's most in-demand topics and updates on the mainstay sessions for which the event is known. We will be hosting this year's conference on the European continent for the very first time, and we are pleased to announce that we have selected the city of Hamburg, Germany due to its central location, terrific maritime history and its position as a port hub in Europe.
Our two-day conference programme will feature plenty of opportunity for networking, and we are happy to help you meet your future mentors, collaborators and future business partners!
