Latin America and the Caribbean need port leaders who not only manage their ports but transform them. That is why AAPA LATAM is organizing a unique high-level learning, networking, and technical-exchange experience.

+30 port executives from the region will gather for 5 days in Tangier, Morocco and Madrid, Spain, from September 28 to October 2, 2026, to experience first-hand two of the most advanced port ecosystems in the world.

An experience focused on port development and infrastructure investment in container and passenger terminals, and the port-city relationship. Be part of the delegation of intercontinental port executives who will join us!

What does this experience include?

  • Technical visits to Tanger City Port and Tanger Med, two world references in port-city integration, container terminals, and world-class port investment models.
  • Personalized executive approaches with ports of the Spanish ecosystem.
  • Training sessions and access to discussion panels with intercontinental leaders.
  • High-level technical sessions on port infrastructure investment, port-city relations, and governance, with the participation of the Port of Rotterdam as an international reference case.
  • Executive meeting with Puertos del Estado of Spain and institutional presentation of RETE and AIVP: cooperation frameworks, internationalization, and concrete opportunities for the ports of our region.
