1st CSN Cyprus Crewing Conference

CSN celebrates the Day of the Seafarer with a conference on ``Maritime HR challenges in a world of changes``

Recruitment and crew wellbeing will be at the heart of the 1st CSN Cyprus Crewing Conference this year. Let us hear what other industries with same challenges as we have in the maritime HR sector are doing. We have invited speakers from high-tech companies with many specialists and expert staff members to learn how they cope with talent acquisition and retention. We have also invited speakers from airlines to hear how they cope with HR in a highly regulated business with a lot of crew members. We combine this with hands-on experts within our own industry to have valuable discussions.

 

  • We are not alone: A perspective from other industries. Other industries are also in hard competition about the talent
  • Factors influencing Crew Welfare
  • The Future – Technology

The above and more, will be discussed at the 1st CSN Cyprus Crewing Conference “Maritime HR challenges in 2023”. The conference will take place on 21st June 2023 in Limassol at the Carob Mill Conference Centre.
