«A Breath of Fresh Air»

YoungShip is proud to present a «Breath of Fresh Air» as the theme for our summer conference 2016. Being innovative and staying ahead has never been more important. Large and rapid structural shifts in the maritime industry is observed in an increasing manner, and we will this year look into the crystal bowl to discuss what is in store. As young and relatively fresh additions to our industry it is our responsibility to learn as much as possible from seasoned industry experts, but we also need to challenge status quo in the organizations that we work in. We hope that the summer conference can serve as a breath of fresh air for our participants.
