DELFT, the netherlands
THE MARITIME EVENT NOBODY WANTS TO MISS
LISA Summit is special. It’s not a one time and see you later kind of meeting. It's a way to build long term connections between Superintendents, Fleet Managers and Suppliers.
Moreover, they are fun, energizing and extremely valuable. No wonder that many participants join LISA Summit again and again.

build on trust
"LISA Summit has grown into a high quality event where business friendships are made"
Build on trust
The tables are filled with seasoned professionals: superintendents, fleet managers, technical directors, QHSE managers, senior sales managers and company owners.
Everyone is invited by a trusted party, either a client or a supplier. It sets the scene for amazing discussions and connections. There is sufficient time to connect, to share practical challenges, product experiences and best practices.
This is priceless. In a moment, we will change places and connect with other participants. Life is good, work is great.
WHY shipowners join
Ships cannot sail without the equipment, services and support given by suppliers. Having trusted suppliers is invaluable to any shipowner. But how do you find the right ones among the thousands who are out there?
Forget the brochures and sales pitches you will find at trade exhibitions. LISA Summit allows you to get real information.
All participating suppliers are recommended by colleagues, and you can connect to them to learn the unfiltered stories. In an intimate and informal setting, you will gain a wealth of valuable insights and new connections:
You will gain insights that you will never get at a trade exhibition,
These new insights allow you to assess products or services more effectively,
So you can make better decisions and prevent costly (or embarrassing) mistakes,
You broaden your network with interesting, seasoned professionals.

small and effective
A typical trade exhibition hosts hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors. And that’s great. LISA Summit has a different approach to achieve better results.
How?
You probably want to connect to the people that matter to you. That’s why we have an invite only policy.
And to make sure you have sufficient time to engage with everyone, the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 40 shipowners and 40 suppliers per 24 hour session. That’s it.
As a result, LISA Summit is an intimate, exclusive and valuable business event.
If you want to experience it yourself, make sure you get invited. Ask around to hear who’s going. Or schedule a call to find out.
