Meticulously planned, smoothly conducted and well subscribed. The field visits to Trincomalee Harbor and Hambantota Port provided the first hand feel of the opportunities on offer. The event in Colombo offered an excellent opportunity to hear from the decision makers and network with various stakeholders. For the upcoming edition in October 2025, I expect even larger number of our members to participate and benefit.
