Maintenance & Repair Conference and Expo update

The WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair Conference and Expo, a multifaceted event that provides a hyper-focused education program and exhibit hall specifically designed for those responsible for commercial vessel maintenance and repair, will return to New Orleans April 10-12, 2018. 
 
Originally scheduled for the spring of 2017, Diversified Communications, the event organizers, have decided to postpone WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair after conducting extensive research to assess current satisfaction with the event.
 
"Based on our findings we quickly recognized an opportunity to evolve WBMR into a more robust experiential event that offered an even greater value to this critical market," said Event Director Denielle Christensen. "Postponing until 2018 will give us the runway we need to bring to market the event that both exhibitors and attendees have asked for."
 
The 2018 edition of WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair Conference and Expo will be a first of its kind event in the commercial marine industry featuring  a longer and more in-depth educational conference program, highly  interactive exhibits, and exhibitor representatives that are uniquely versed on the specifics of maintenance and repair.
 
In order to ensure attainment of the goals set forth, WorkBoat Maintenance & Repair has formed multiple high-level industry advisory boards to offer guidance on event vision and conference and education programming. More details will be released over the coming months at www.workboatmaintenanceandrepair.com and interested attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to contact event representatves at info@workboatmaintenanceandrepair.com with any questions.
