More than 340 delegates have already registered for the Marinas26 International Conference and Trade Exhibition, and with three weeks remaining, the 2026 event is on track to become the largest in the conference's history.

Conference Committee Chair Karen Baldwin said the strength and relevance of the program has been a key driver of early registrations.

The content is highly relevant to marina owners and operators. From examining the health and outlook of the sector to exploring marina design, redevelopment and maintenance, the program addresses both strategic and operational priorities. It also tackles emerging issues such as artificial intelligence, ensuring delegates gain practical insights to maximise opportunities, enhance operational sustainability and mitigate risk.

The 20-session program spans two days and features a strong line-up of industry-focused topics, including:

  • Planning for 2035: Demographic Insights
  • Economic Forecast
  • 2025 Health of the Marina Industry Survey results
  • MIA Supporting Industry
  • Lessons Learned - Redevelopment of Ageing Marina Assets
  • Lessons Learned - Development in the Middle East
  • Marina Maintenance & Asset Management
  • AI Future in Marinas & Boatyards
  • Context & Stakeholder Alignment - The New Marina Shapers
  • AI - Practical Applications for Marinas
  • Superyacht Ready
  • Risk on the Waterfront - Insurance & Legal Strategies
  • Innovators & Start-Up Showcase
  • The Future of Boatyards
