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.

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.
