ShipTech Forum is an annual gathering of members from the marine and shipbuilding industries. This event aims to talk about the significant challenges and how to solve these through technology and emerging trends and practices in the field. Aside from learning these from our wide array of professional speakers, ShipTech Forum is also the best avenue for networking and meeting colleagues to connect.
