SMM will return to Messe Hamburg as a live trade exhibition between the 1st and 4th of September 2026.
SMM (SMM Hamburg) is a biannual marine industry trade exhibition of high importance. It is the leading trade show for the marine industry. SMM is the main event for addressing the latest standards and regulations. It also allows professionals to discuss challenges. Furthermore, it is the location for governments to discuss naval security challenges. The event occurs in the Hamburg Messe und Congress.
The exhibition attracts professionals such as shipowners and operators, shipyard managers/operators, suppliers and marine interior specialists. SMM is an event that attracts a large and diverse group of attendees. For instance, one iteration included 50 000 visitants, 70 international speakers, 27 political or navy delegations, and 2 249 exhibitor firms. Attendants represent 125 countries, including the Commonwealth of Australia, the United States, Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, Norway, and South Africa. Both exhibitors and visitors consider the event to be worth attending. For instance, 95% of the exhibitor firms deem SMM an excellent expansion opportunity. 93% of the visitors regard the event to be of great importance. Also, 97% of the exhibitors attribute networking success to the event.
SMM helps maritime industry professionals complete several goals via its high-level support programme. This includes the presence of a comprehensive exhibition with five themed routes. Each route has a different name and symbol. The thematic paths are Cruise & Ferry, Digital, Green, Job, and Security & Defence. SMM also features a series of conferences and forums. Among the sub-events of this type are the Maritime Future Summit, the TradeWinds Shipowners Forum, the GMEC – the Global Maritime Environmental Congress, and the Offshore Dialogue. The Maritime Security & Defence Conference or MS&D and the Maritime Career Market are also among SMM’s leading highlights. The event also features diverse key event areas, such as Green technology and Marine Interiors. Another lead area is the Transition Stages, which discuss the key themes.

Hi Megan,
The hotel was awesome, but I would also like to know what else are offered at the same time, so once you have a list, can you please offer it to me too?
Thank you and best regards,

Dear Megan,
Thank you, it went very well. Hotel was nice and I liked the location very much. Would have been nice with a chair and maybe a small desk in the room, but no biggie.
I will probably buy via our cruise network next time, I usually do, so not relevant.
Med venlig hilsen/best regards

Megan Moore was grand to work with... We had on-off-on again hotel guests. She found the highest quality hotel at the lowest price for us in a popular Paris neighbourhood - 5 stars at 2 star prices! Megan also found some great deals for us in other tier one cities as well - low prices, high quality - during peak exposition times. Will certainly use her again!
Ciao Tom,
our ISM went very well!
We would like to stay at the same hotel also for next year, so please ask for preliminary rates for us.
Please consider the same number of rooms for the moment, we will update the rooming list later.
Many thanks in advance,

Dear Megan,
Wishing a great start to 2019 in Health, Happiness and Wealth!
My sincere apologies for the late reply as I headed for my holidays on return and just back last Friday to office.
Well, everything were great during my stay in Langham with a room’s view of Pearl River and awesome facility. Plus point with walking distance (5mins) to subway station and 10 mins stroll to the exhibition centre.
My greatest appreciation to you for all the coordination and arrangement for the hotel reservation!
Have a happy Monday!
Thank you
Best regards,
