SNAME ANNUAL MEETING AND EXPO RE-NAMED THE SNAME MARITIME CONVENTION
SNAME (Society of Naval Architects & Marine Engineers) has changed the name of its annual industry event from the SNAME Annual Meeting & Expo to the SNAME Maritime Convention.
The 2014 SNAME Maritime Convention will be held October 22-24 at the Hyatt Regency in Houston, Texas. The name change reflects a decision by SNAME to enhance the program and events scheduled during the yearly gathering to attract a wider cross-section of industry professionals.
“The program we’re developing for the new SNAME Maritime Convention will continue to address technical subjects and feature the latest products, but we’re also creating new opportunities for industry professionals to discuss and share knowledge relating to the economic, environmental and political issues that have an impact on virtually every facet of the maritime community,” said Peter G. Noble, SNAME President.
The deadline for proposals for technical papers, panel discussions, product technology presentations, product demonstrations and product display plans has been extended to April 18. “Any proposal that would interest the international community of maritime and ocean professionals will be considered,” Noble said.
