TOC Asia 2026: Shaping the Agenda
TOC Asia brings together the region’s maritime trade, supply chain, and port community for two days of high-level discussion on the issues shaping the industry’s future.
This year’s programme is built around two core themes: CSC Live, tackling the pressing challenges facing maritime trade and supply chains — from crisis management and freight outlook to emerging logistics corridors and ocean contract strategy — and Tech TOC, our dedicated stream exploring the technology, automation, and innovation transforming port and terminal operations, including AI, cybersecurity, decarbonization, and smart equipment management.
Below is a first look at the topics and sessions under development for TOC Asia 2026. These reflect the key conversations we believe the industry needs to have right now, shaped with input from our advisory community and industry experts.
Please note: this is a working draft. Session formats, timings, and speaker line-ups are still being finalized, and additional topics may be added. The final, confirmed agenda — complete with speakers and session details — will be published soon.
