Seawork 2026

In 2026, 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 7,500 industry professionals, and 400 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, alongside a showcase of vessels afloat. It provides a unique platform to present your business to those who specify and purchase marine equipment, supplies, services, and vessels. 82% of Seawork attendees are decision makers, such as CEOs, Superintendents, and key procurement leads

Join us in the SMI Hub at Seawork 2026

There are now even more opportunities for SMEs to get involved at Seawork. We have expanded our offering to include Exhibition Pods and 2x2m ‘Mini Stands’, available at a reduced rate. As a strong advocate for SME innovation within the UK maritime sector, our goal is to support businesses by providing access to valuable networking opportunities and key events in the maritime calendar.

These new exhibition options within the SMI Hub offer a lower-cost entry point to the event, combined with organisational support from the SMI events team, ensuring a smoother participation experience.
