ICOMIA World Marinas Conference 2027 – A Premier International Forum
Organized by the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA), the World Marinas Conference has been the premier international forum for marina development since its inception in Amsterdam in 1993. Building on the theme of “Connecting Globally to Develop Marinas that Enhance Waterfront Communities and Drive Economic Growth,” IWMC2027 will bring together global stakeholders to exchange expertise, explore emerging opportunities, and address the key challenges shaping the future of the industry.
