About the Event
The Future Skills Maritime (FSM) Global Virtual Conference is maritime industry’s largest virtual conference in skill building. While it is important to know the future skill demands of the industry, however, what’s more important is to ascertain how the present workforce is to cope with such a rapidly changing industry which demands skills totally different to what is in use at present.
The Naval Connection (TNC) Future Skills Maritime (FSM) 2022 Global Virtual Conference offers the most engaging opportunity to talent development leaders, heads of learning, human resource leads, maritime professionals, business leaders and seafarers along with policy makers and representatives of maritime administrations and Flag States to discuss challenges, exchange ideas , demonstrate future needs and expectations, and present solution-based approaches for skill development in the maritime sector.
FSM 2022 will offer a road map to organisations and business professionals for a future ready global maritime workplace.
The first edition of FSM which was held in Nov 2020 drew large visitors from all parts of the world. The conference was attended by delegates from over 40 countries who connected with each other and with the FSM global speakers and maritime leads through unique networking opportunities.

About the Organisers : The Naval Connection
The COVID19 pandemic has unleashed chaos that has also dealt a death blow to physical events. However, we have shown resilience and in fact glad to get this opportunity to scale new heights. Pivoting our approach to envision a global view, we have conceptualized FUTURE SKILLS MARITIME 2022. This is a great virtual platform for maritime professionals from across the world to contribute ideas, share experiences, and visions for the new world order ahead.
Our collective focus is to make shipping safer and cleaner. This will be possible only when we visualize the future of maritime operations and its demands from professionals. The FUTURE is NOW and the world expectantly looks at us to see how we embrace it.
We are fortunate to have an amazing team on board. Besides, the virtual event would be a wonderful networking opportunity to explore new horizons and enhance existing standards. Come aboard, all hands on deck!
