97th International Convention in Charleston, SC

The International Propeller Club of the United States is a global network of non-profit organizations dedicated to the maritime community.  The Club’s annual convention will bring stakeholders together in an information, discussion, and debate forum to benefit the shipping and world it serves.  This year, the 97th Annual Convention will be hosted by the Port of Charleston in our home of Charleston, South Carolina.  Last year, the Port of Piraeus hosted the convention in Athens, Greece.  This was the first convention since the onset of the global pandemic and was themed “We Are Together.”  The conference was a huge success; we will build on that success while adding a hint of our Southern charm.  This year our focus is on “Propelling Tomorrow with Innovation Today.”

We will bring together distinguished speakers and delegates from across the globe to discuss various topics regarding innovation and sustainability in key areas of port management and logistics, digitalization, human resources, maritime education and training, and more.
