ShipRepair & Conversion 2003 is the dedicated meeting place for the repair, conversion, maintenance, refit and after sales services industry. Now in its 12th successful year, this specialist event will attract its regular base of exhibitors and visitors from the leading companies, as well as a steady stream of new companies experiencing the event for the first time. The format for this year's event has been revised to offer a forum for debate on the real issues affecting those involved in ship repair, maintenance & conversion. Excellent speaker panels have been put together to give you the opportunity to hear expert views from shipyards, shipowners, shipmanagers, shipyard agents, classification societies & consultants.

In 2002 the event attracted over 2700 attendees from over 40 countries; with the combination of the exhibition, conference debate and pre-conference workshop and company & product presentations proving to be a popular format. Exhibitors also took advantage of this industry gathering to host corporate and customer meetings parallel to the exhibition itself. The introduction of the company and product presentations area provided exhibiting and independent companies with the platform to host a sales presentation and increase their brand exposure, as well as the potential to reach new sales prospects. Companies quoted 'Quality of the attendance' as their main reason for their participation.
