3. 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
