Background

In 1974, in the UK a handful of women brokers involved in the tanker market met for a Christmas lunch in London. Over the years, contacts from overseas were invited to join the meeting and the group expanded throughout Europe to include women from other areas of shipping.

In 1981, the first WISTA annual conference was held in Hamburg, Germany. Since that time, an annual conference has been held in 17 different countries.

This year the WISTA conference will be organized for the 32nd time, the event takes place on 3-5 October in Paris, France
