The maritime community from around the world will come together on February 23 – 24, 2027, for the fifth World Maritime Forum, expected to be the largest and most significant edition in the Forum’s history.

Following four successful editions, the 2027 Forum is set to welcome approximately 800 attendees, 70 speakers and 50 exhibitors. It will bring maritime leaders, industry experts, decision-makers and innovators together to exchange ideas, develop partnerships and consider the developments shaping the sector’s future over two intensive days.

The programme for this milestone event will encourage substantive discussion and a range of perspectives on the industry’s opportunities and challenges. It will include 12 panel discussions featuring leading voices on key maritime issues.

Alongside the panels, the programme will feature two Conversations on Stage, offering an open and engaging setting for discussions with prominent industry figures. Individual presentations will also give experts and organisations the opportunity to share their knowledge, experience, innovative solutions and ideas for the future with the international maritime community.

The exhibition area will host 50 exhibitors, giving attendees the chance to explore companies, technologies and services contributing to the maritime industry’s development and transformation. Together, the conference programme and exhibition will support discussion and business development.

Networking will continue to be an important part of the World Maritime Forum. At the close of the first day, participants are invited to a Gala Cocktail Party, where they can carry on conversations, strengthen professional relationships and meet colleagues from across the global maritime sector.

The 2027 event marks a major new chapter as the Forum reaches its fifth edition. With its strongest programme to date, an expanding international audience and a broad line-up of speakers and exhibitors, the Forum is set to offer two days of valuable insight, meaningful connections and high-level industry discussion.

The maritime community will meet again on February 23 – 24, 2027, for what promises to be the most significant World Maritime Forum so far.
