A high-level learning, networking, and technical-exchange experience for port executives from Latin America and the Caribbean, in Tangier (Morocco) and Madrid (Spain).
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.
