Pacific Marine Expo 2026

The 2026 expo is at Seattle Convention Center Arch Building in Seattle, Washington.

The organizer lists commercial fishermen, vessel owners and operators, shipyards, engineers, seafood processors, port and marina professionals, and government and military representatives among its audiences.

It is most useful for working commercial fishermen, vessel owners, captains, shipyards and seafood processors on the West Coast, since those groups make up the core attendee list and the education program draws safety speakers from the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board alongside Alaska seafood and mariculture organizations. Buyers of recreational boats or attendees from outside the Pacific fishing and workboat trades would find less that applies, as the program and audience lean toward commercial operations from Alaska to California.

Attendees at commercial marine trade shows usually wear practical casual clothing, such as jeans, work jackets or fleeces and sturdy comfortable shoes for long hours on a convention floor; Seattle in November also calls for a rain layer.
