This year's ALMC will focus on Asian connectivity, new retail revolution and its implications to logistics, and logistics technology. Delegates will also examine high-tech's various impacts on the industry.
About 70 notables from the logistics and maritime sectors will share insights at the conference, which is expected to attract over 2,000 delegates from 30 countries and regions.

At another session, 'Online Shopping Revolutionising Logistics & Supply Chain Management' on November 21 will look at how innovative technologies are offering advantages for the logistics industry and helping companies capture the latest online-to-offline (O2O) opportunities.
