maritime and security agencies.
Clarion Events would like to take this opportunity
to say a special thank you to all of our speakers
for their time spent preparing for this conference
and also to our event supporters, partners and
sponsors. Without their support this event would not
have been possible.

dates will follow soon. In the meantime, please
