A Maritime Industry Tradition
Held every year in New Orleans, the show attracts 15,000 members of the commercial marine industry, who come together from around the world to network, learn, spot new industry trends, and uncover innovative products and solutions.

“Everyone in the marine industry is here,” as attendees have said.

That includes its most innovative suppliers and vendors who for three days transform the Morial Convention Center exhibition hall into a small city of diverse trade-show booths, exhibits and product demonstrations.

From the Collaboration Zone, Back Deck Bar and Wheelhouse Tavern to the new cutting-edge Think Tank and major upgrades within the WorkBoat Annual Conference, come prepared to experience new additions and valued traditions at this year’s show.

Don’t forget about after-hours, when attendees take to the famous restaurants, tap houses and music venues of New Orleans to experience the soulful, warm and welcoming brand of Southern charm unique to the Crescent City.
