On top of the Conference sessions, the program includes social activities, excursions and a Gala dinner, to enable attendees to network and exchange ideas, views and experiences.
The International Association of Maritime Economists (IAME)
Established in 1991, IAME is an international forum for the exchange of information and views among those interested in the economic aspects of shipping, ports and other related issues. Membership of the Association includes academics, managers and policy makers.
The IAME conferences are organized and hosted by a different academic institution every year, and are held in the country where the hosting institution is based. The last six IAME Conferences were held in the following countries: Italy (2000), Hong Kong (2001), Panama (2002), Korea (2003), Turkey (2004), Cyprus (2005) and Australia (2006). The IAME conferences cover areas including Shipping Economics, Ship Finance, Maritime Policy and Management, Port Policy, and Logistics. They usually attract around 100-150 academics from all over the world, as well as a similar number of maritime business practitioners, including middle and senior-level company executives, maritime association officials, and representatives of port authorities and maritime organizations.
