International WorkBoat Show 2025: Navigating the Future of Maritime Innovation

The 2025 International WorkBoat Show is set to take place December 3-5 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. As the premier event for the U.S. commercial maritime industry, the show will bring together thousands of professionals to explore cutting-edge technologies, discuss industry trends, and forge valuable connections. The show is produced by the team behind WorkBoat Magazine and WorkBoat.com and serves as a trade-only platform for vessel owners, operators, builders, and the vendors and suppliers that support them.




This year’s show will feature the WorkBoat Conference Program, offering educational sessions on vessel electrification, U.S. shipyard market trends, dredging technologies, and future vessel designs. The Underwater Intervention program will provide specialized technical sessions on the latest challenges and technologies in underwater operations, co-hosted with the Association of Diving Contractors International and the ROV Committee of the Marine Technology Society.

Special events will include the Women in Maritime Summit, focused on networking and advancing women in the maritime industry, as well as the Maritime Breakfast and Luncheon, which highlight industry trends, workforce development, and the current state of the U.S. WorkBoat sector. The show will also feature award presentations recognizing the most innovative vessels of the year, hands-on Industry Interaction Day activities for students, and the competitive Maritime Throwdown event.

“Each year, the International WorkBoat Show brings together the people and technologies driving the maritime industry forward,” said Lauren Streeter, Event Director. “This year, we are excited to offer a mix of educational programs, hands-on experiences, and networking opportunities that truly showcase the innovation and resilience of the commercial maritime sector.”
