London International Shipping Week 2017 (LISW17) is delighted to announce that Emily Maitlis: Broadcaster, journalist, and presenter of the BBC’s Newsnight,
will once again moderate the official LISW flagship conference which will take place at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Thursday September 14.
The internationally-acclaimed journalist and broadcaster will bring her forthright and engaging style to the industry-leading conference. With a career spanning almost three decades, Emily began as a documentary maker in Cambodia and China, before developing her career as a journalist with the BBC, NBC Asia, Channel 4 News and Sky. She is a regular presenter of Newsnight.
Announcing Emily’s involvement, LISW17 Steering Group Chairman Jeremy Penn said: “Emily earned her spurs when she moderated the LISW conference in 2015 and I am personally delighted she is back in the moderator’s hot seat again this year. Emily is a professional communicator and quickly grasped the key issues under debate. She will prove to be a quality addition to the top-level line-up of speakers and panellists that are being assembled for this year’s flagship conference.”
Taking place from September 11 to 15, LISW17 will be the must-attend event of the global maritime calendar with more than 140 industry functions and unique networking opportunities.
