This dinner will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 20th edition of GreenPort Congress.
- A drinks reception in the beautiful Gardjola Gardens, Senglea: the perfect setting to reflect on two days of learning, while making lasting connections with colleagues old and new, and with participants from the co-located DTF (Decarbonising the Future) conference.
For the first time ever, GreenPort will feature two exclusive port tours:
