About ICTC

In a space crowded with “intermodal” events, ICTC stands apart — built specifically for terminals. It’s a space for operators to address key challenges and help shape the industry’s future through collaboration and innovation. 

Intermodal terminals are evolving fast. Rising volumes and shifting trade patterns demand greater efficiency, closer coordination, and smarter technology. ICTC brings leaders together to explore the strategies and innovations that will define the terminals of tomorrow.

Our approach is simple: when the conference is running, all attention is on the stage. A single-stream format ensures every delegate can engage directly with the debate, the case studies, and the keynote insights that matter most.

And it doesn’t end there: the conversations continue throughout the event. With extended breaks and dedicated networking opportunities, ICTC creates an environment for delegates to compare notes, build relationships, and spark the collaborations that move the industry forward.

Charity Partners

Port Technology International has launched a new initiative to support Cancer Research UK and Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care in honour of our colleague and friend, Chris Murphy, who sadly passed away in September 2025. Throughout 2026, we will be running fundraising activities across our events and digital media channels, helping to raise awareness and contribute to the vital work of both organisations. This project reflects our commitment to honouring Chris’ memory and supporting causes that make a meaningful difference.

We’re the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives with our research, influence and information. Over the past 50 years, our pioneering work has helped double cancer survival in the UK. And today it’s continuing to save lives, here and around the world.

Our vision is a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. And step by step, day by day, our researchers are making this vision a reality thanks to our dedicated community of supporters, partners, donors, fundraisers, volunteers and staff.

Together we are beating cancer.

For over 40 years, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care has provided vital care and support to patients and families across West Surrey and North East Hampshire.

Our Mission: We will care compassionately for adults approaching the end of life, and their families and carers, and we will empower our local community, building skills in caring for people at the end of their lives. Because every day is precious.

As an independent charity, Phyllis Tuckwell must raise over £25,000 every day to continue offering comfort, dignity, and specialist care to those facing terminal illness.

Every donation, big or small, helps make a lasting difference to those who need it most.
