Pacific Marine Expo — the West Coast’s premier commercial marine trade show and the sister event to the International WorkBoat Show opens this Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Lumen Field Event Center in Seattle. Presented by WorkBoat and National Fisherman, the Expo brings together every sector of the region’s working waterfront, from commercial fishing and passenger vessels to tugs, workboats, offshore service vessels, and emerging marine technologies.
As the largest gathering of commercial mariners on the West Coast, Pacific Marine Expo offers operators, builders, and suppliers a comprehensive look at the products, services, and innovations shaping the year ahead. Hundreds of exhibitors will be on the floor, showcasing solutions for vessel construction, maintenance, and modernization, whether you’re upgrading your current fleet or planning new builds.
A program built for both workboat and commercial marine professionals
Beyond the exhibit hall, PME provides a jam-packed conference program covering the issues that matter most to today’s mariners. This year’s sessions span marine safety, regulatory updates, financing and business strategy, workforce development, and the latest technical advancements in commercial vessels and onboard systems.
Programming is curated in partnership with Washington Maritime Blue, bringing together thought leaders, innovators, and community voices to explore where maritime business meets technology, sustainability, and the future of the industry.
