The MoU between ICHCA International and TOC Events will be used as a framework to pursue cooperative projects of mutual interest specific to the dissemination of knowledge, best practice, analysis and commentary on the challenges and issues facing the global cargo handling community. The partnership will be used to enhance news distribution, publications and events, particularly of a digital nature.
Richard Steele, ICHCA International’s CEO, commented: “One of our association’s primary roles is to maximise the accessibility to relevant information on innovation and forward thinking for operators in the port and cargo handling facility sector. I believe this agreement with a deeply experienced and digitally savvy communicator such as TOC will aid us in our pursuit. I am particularly excited about the prospect of extending even further the reach of our guidance and industry best practice. Knowledge is the one thing that grows in value the more that it is shared. By working together, we can help industry to safeguard workers, ensuring that lessons are learned fast, once and stay learnt.”
TOC Connect, an inaugural hybrid TOC event, takes place both digitally between 18th October and 5th November, and in its traditional ‘live’ format in Rotterdam (26th-27th October). ICHCA members will participate by advising on the content and format of the innovative event and present during the programme of seminars and webinars.
