We would like to invite you to our 1st CSN Cyprus Crewing Conference. Recruitment and crew wellbeing will be at the heart of the copnference 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
