From the age of the Phoenicians to the Knights of St John and British rule, Malta’s maritime history is etched into every port, fort, and shipyard. The Grand Harbour, one of the most iconic natural harbours in the world, has seen centuries of naval history and now serves as a vital hub for sustainable shipping and shore power infrastructure.

October is one of the best months to visit Malta. With average daytime temperatures of 24°C, low rainfall, and extended daylight hours, the island offers the perfect climate for both professional engagement and leisure. Conference attendees can enjoy alfresco networking events, seaside dinners, and cultural excursions in weather that feels like summer.
