The Northern California Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers cordially invites you to attend a maritime technology conference, addressing innovative ferry and cruise ship designs, advanced propulsion technologies, and the environmental impacts of these vessels.

An outstanding group of experts in the field will share their knowledge and experience in a state-of-the-art technical program. Naval architects, marine engineers, maritime industry managers and government officials attending the conference will find it an ideal forum for articulating the challenges in the expansion of passenger vessel services and discussing possible technological solutions.

The conference will be held on the campus of the California Maritime Academy, affording easy access to many San Francisco Bay Area attractions that provide entertainment for the entire family.

Register today and plan to join us for what promises to be a professionally stimulating and enjoyable weekend. The conference is arranged at the beginning of the weekend so attendees may enjoy touring in the Bay Area and/or Wine Country before returning home. For more information, special requests, or corporate sponsor opportunities contact one of the committee members below.

The California Maritime Academy, located in Vallejo, California, is a unique and specialized campus of The California State University that offers bachelor’s degrees in business administration, facilities engineering technology, global studies and maritime affairs, marine engineering technology, marine transportation, and mechanical engineering. Cal Maritime is one of only seven degree-granting maritime academies in the United States — and the only one on the West Coast.
