Scheduled from November 20 to November 22 at the Lumen Field Event Center in Seattle, the expo is expected to draw thousands of professionals from the commercial fishing, workboat, and maritime sectors. This year's edition promises to be one of the most dynamic in its over 50-year history, with fresh programming, new evening events, and the return of popular industry favorites.
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore products from hundreds of exhibitors across nearly every commercial marine category. The event will also feature a free Expo Education Program, covering critical topics such as Marine Safety, Blue Economy, and Technical Advancements over three days. Special highlights include the Alaska Hall, showcasing Alaskan-only exhibitors, and the National Fisherman Highliner Dinner & Awards, a celebration of the 2025 National Fisherman Highliners.
Additional attractions include the AMSEA Stability Workshop, a 30-minute hands-on session designed to enhance fishermen's understanding of vessel stability, and various special events like happy hours and the Coastal Challenge.
