Join the SMI Hub at Seawork 2024

As Seawork celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, the premier commercial marine and workboat exhibition continues to set the standard for industry gatherings.
Facilitated by the strategic relocation in 2016, the event now boasts expansive exhibitor spaces, covered halls, and additional pontoon areas, creating an enriched experience for both exhibitors and attendees. Fostering a vibrant atmosphere, Seawork has become a focal point for networking, innovation, and business development.
For the past three years, the Society of Maritime Industries (SMI) has proudly hosted a pavilion, serving as a hub for collaboration and opportunity. This year, the SMI expands opportunities for SMEs, offering exhibition pods and 2x2m stands at reduced rates.
Tom Chant, MBE, said, "The exhibition never fails to create business opportunities for the companies that come with us on the stand. The visitor profile to the show is very broad and is a real melting pot of the UK and European maritime industry. If companies are unsure of the presence they require or want to experience the exhibition and industry, then our hub is an ideal option for them".
Take advantage of the chance to participate in a major event and become a part of the SMI Hub at Seawork 2024 with over 7,200 visitors from 60 countries, 91% of whom have the power to make or influence purchasing decisions.
