The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) will be hosting the WMTC 2006 in partnership with 24 of the world’s leading maritime associations. Organised for the first time in San Francisco by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), WMTC is held every three years and comes to Europe for the first time in March 2006. Never before has a maritime conference achieved the breadth and depth that is WMTC 2006. You can now register to attend www.wmtc2006.com |

The scope of WMTC covers marine engineering systems; commercial shipping; naval engineering; offshore oil and gas; underwater vehicles; marine renewable energy; exclusive economic zone (EEZ) management; coast and ocean mapping; operational oceanography; and reefs of the world. In all 237 technical presentations from 33 countries and 28 poster presentations will be given during WMTC.

Up to 100 exhibiting companies will be there. Find out about costs, packages and book your space at www.wmtc2006.com/exhibition/
Each day of WMTC during the lunch time period a series of 15 minute presentations will take place in the exhibition areas giving an insight into the latest research and development initiatives, cutting edge technologies and perhaps a little ‘off the wall’ thinking.
Innovation hour presenters will be announced in the New Year just before the conference to keep their concepts as fresh as possible www.wmtc2006.com/technical/in/
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Launch in London, go Global over 3 years: WMTC2006 is for maritime managers and companies who require a multi-disciplinary, multi-national approach to their R&D and commercial objectives, the opportunity to initiate their plans or launch their campaigns. Sponsors will have a whole week in which to meet other professionals and corporates, address the media, and then potentially utilize the services of 24 supporting Institutes over the following 3 years to enact their plans and campaigns. They will be able to review and re-boost their efforts at WMTC2009, Mumbai. So, a unique opportunity to formulate and drive maritime technical and commercial innovation: Launch in London, go Global over 3 years.
