Welcome to V Med Hub Day!
We are back with Med Hub Day! It will be a hybrid event that will combine physical B2B meetings with digital conferences, so that everyone can be part of it.
In the digital part, the V Med Hub Day will be an interactive webinar through an online platform that will have a space for participation and networking among attendees.
The aim of the V Med Hub Day is to promote, debate and exchange some information about the strengths and opportunities that the Mediterranean Sea offers us as a logistics platform for chemical and petrochemical products.
For two days, storage terminal operators, ports, consignees, forwarders, market analysts and chemical and petrochemical companies will meet to discuss and to provide ideas and news in this “new normality”.
We will have a complete programme of experts linked to the sector, and there will be no lack of networking.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!
