SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair

We'd like to cordially invite you to the most important industry trade fair, taking place from 4 to 7 September in the maritime capital Hamburg. As the ultimate international navigator, it is a decisive communication platform and a unique opportunity to meet key players, display business strengths, establish new contacts and exchange knowledge with people from related industries. With all key maritime industry innovations under one roof, SMM is ideal for exploring new trends and discovering business opportunities – a fact that 99 % of visitors attest to.


World’s #1 trade fair for the maritime industry 

Given the overwhelming number of applications we have received, SMM will once again strengthen its reputation as the world’s #1 trade fair for the maritime industry and offer an unparalleled opportunity to stimulate business. 


Smart Shipping and Industry 4.0 will take centre stage, and anyone who is interested in the future of the maritime industry is already looking forward to the gathering of key players from the various sectors. And, with these programme highlights SMM will underscore its commitment to the maritime industry: Shipowners Forum, Maritime Future Summit, gmec – the global maritime environmental congress, MS&D – the international conference on maritime security and defence, Maritime Career Market. 


SMM is where you’ll meet the maritime industry’s leaders and experts all in one place. We look forward to welcoming you in Hamburg.
