If there is one message that the speakers at the first Dredging Today Conference in Amsterdam on 9 & 10 October will bring across, it is that sustainability can bring business and that climate change holds incredible opportunities for the dredging and marine industry.

Femke Perlot-Hoogeveen, Conference Manager, is getting excited. “All the preparatory talks with the speakers have taken place and I am looking forward to a really great program. In less than two weeks we will welcome port authorities, dredging contractors, ship builders, engineering firms, analysts, governments and climate change experts who will share their views on what climate change can mean for the global dredging and marine industry. It can sound bitter, but both climate adaptation and climate mitigation bring millions if not billions worth of business opportunities across the world.”
