SNAME
Maritime Technology Expo
Exhibitor Innovation Sessions
Building
on the success of last year’s Innovation Sessions, SNAME
is pleased to announce the return of this exciting program
in 2007. In response to positive feedback from exhibitors
and attendees alike, the SNAME Maritime Technology Expo, scheduled
for November 14-16, 2007 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, will once
again feature presentations on new products and technologies
in a special lecture-style area of the Expo Hall.
Held
during the coffee breaks and lunch breaks in the Expo
Hall when all conference attendees are present, the
Innovation Sessions are an opportunity for exhibitors to informally
present their products and technologies to SMTC attendees
in small areas in back of the Hall.
Reserved
only for SMTC&E exhibitors, the Innovation Sessions present
an additional marketing opportunity. Exhibitors are encouraged
to take advantage of their presentations by inviting key clients
and potential customers. Expo invitations and passes will
be mailed to exhibitors in August, allowing time for use in
marketing direct mail to encourage attendance at the Expo.

Although
these presentations will not be formally reviewed, SNAME
must reserve the right to refuse any that do not seem appropriate,
and will rely on the exhibitor’s and presenter’s
own standards of professional behavior to make close supervision
unnecessary.
-
Brief
abstracts must be submitted to SNAME HQ to Brenda Elmore-Feliciano
at belmore@sname.org.
-
As
there is a limited number of slots available, they will
be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A confirmation
will be sent after each abstract is received. Two additional
presentations will be selected as standbys.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this exciting
opportunity for exhibitors to inform and educate maritime
professionals attending the SMTC&E and SPS about new products
and technologies.

The
New SNAME Texas Section
Young Professionals Club
In
late November of 2006, the SNAME Young Professional Task Force
was formed to pave the road for a new asset to SNAME and its
members. The challenge was to stimulate membership among younger
members (35 and younger). The group, consisting of several young
SNAME leaders from across the nation, set out on a mission to
form a number of Young Professional programs on the local section
level. The first of these was created by members of the Texas
Section.
On
March 8, 2007, the first organized gathering of SNAME Young
Professionals was held, and the SNAME Texas Young Professionals
Club (TXYPC) was formed. The event, held at the Fox and Hound
in Houston, was a huge success!! About 40 people attended throughout
the night, which is one-third of all Texas Section Young Professional
members!! The attendees were enthusiastic about the event, and
provided excellent feedback and ideas for future events. Fifteen
individuals volunteered to be on the TXYPC planning committee
to help organize future events.
