Maritime Italy 2008

MARE FORUM

PRESENTS THE FORUM:

3rd
MARITIME ITALY 2008

- Italy and the World -

Monday 12 May 2008

Hilton Sorrento Palace
Sorrento - Italy

Italy’s shipping families and public shipowners are stronger than they have ever been. So is Italy’s technical, brokerage and financial support system. But the world around Italy is beginning to feel afraid. The dollar is weak, the euro is strong, the global economy is wobbling. And Italian shipping is very much a part of that global economy. Should it feel afraid too? Or is it strong enough to ride out the crisis of confidence?

Mare Forum’s Maritime Italy 2008 brings together many of the leaders of Italian shipping and squares them up to global players in the shipping and finance world. In a robust forum which is the logical sequence to the Maritime Italy conferences held in 2006 and 2007 they, and you, will have a chance to join a frank debate on where shipping goes next globally and locally. Where will the markets go? And where will the money come from?

PLUNGE with Mare Forum into Italian shipping on Monday May 12th 2008 during the “Maritime Italy 2008 - Italy and the World- "

Maritime Italy 2008 will once again be held in the charming Hilton Sorrento Palace in beautiful Sorrento. The forum brings together Italian and international CEO's from shipping, trading and brokerage companies, key investors in shipping, bankers, consultants and entrepreneurs.

The free flowing and very personal format avoids long papers and lectures and focuses on giving everyone attending the opportunity to make their points and to explore what others think. It is the one unique opportunity to network with the true heart of Italian shipping.

Come to Sorrento and come to Mare Forum Maritime Italy on May 12. Enjoy the lemon trees and the zesty debate. Benefit from the fresh ideas and contacts you will leave with. Have fun, and gain a real insight into Maritime Italy and its place in the world today

We look forward to welcoming you in Sorrento,
