The SNAME AM is the only industry event that includes all the diverse technical interests and professional specialties in naval architecture, marine engineering and marine sciences.

The Technical Program will cover an expanded range of topics at the 2010 Annual Meeting, and build upon the excellent and diverse offerings of the 2009 Annual Meeting in Providence, RI. The SNAME 2009 Annual Meeting technical papers very in length. Each presentation will encourage audience interaction and discussion with the presenters.

The Ship Production Symposium will again be a vital element of the SNAME Technical Program in 2010. These presentations, supported by the National Shipbuilding Research Program, will run concurrent to technical paper presentations, and are noted on the Technical Program Schedule by the initials "SPS".
