Seawork 2025
In 2025, we are once again partnering with Seawork, Europe’s largest commercial marine and workboat exhibition, to host a dedicated SMI Hub within the exhibition.
The annual event brings together over 7,600 industry professionals, together with over 70 vessels afloat and shore. 82% of Seawork visitors stated they were involved in, or responsible for, specifying and decision-making in their businesses. Of those, 79% had a senior job title of Director, Manager, Team Lead, Harbour Master, Naval Architect, Surveyor, Engineer, or Superintendent.
Join us in the SMI Hub at Seawork 2025
This year, there are now even more ways for SMEs to get involved at Seawork. We have expanded our offering to include exhibition pods and smaller 2x2m stands, available at a reduced rate. As a major proponent of SME innovation within the UK maritime industry, our aim is to facilitate via access to networking and key events within the maritime calendar.
The new exhibition options available within the SMI Hub enables access to the event at a lower cost point and with organisational support from the SMI event team for increased peace of mind.
