LONDON, Nov. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Windward, a world leader in maritime analytics, today announced plans to hold Sea: The Future 2020 - A Vision for Growth on May 20, at Trinity House, London.

Ami Daniel, CEO of Windward, said: "The maritime ecosystem is facing unprecedented challenges: from new environmental regulations, to security threats, to ever-evolving compliance demands.

The unique approach of bringing together different parts of the maritime ecosystem - tech, insurance, government, finance - really worked. It was great to see a fellow startup exerting some intellectual leadership."
Confirmed speakers for Sea: The Future 2020 include former BP CEO and Windward Chairman, The Lord Browne of Madingley; Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) Founder & CEO, Daniela Fernandez; Former Deputy Secretary of State, Tony Blinken; and Bunker Holding CEO, Keld Demant.
