SEATTLE, WA, August 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Registration is now open for both the 2012 Pacific Marine Expo, which for the first time in many years, will be held after Thanksgiving from Tuesday, November 27, through Thursday, November 29, at Seattle's CenturyLink Field Event Center, and the 33rd International WorkBoat Show, North America's largest commercial marine trade show and conference, which will be held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center from Wednesday, December 5, through Friday, December 7.
"By successfully bringing together thousands of people who want to buy with thousands of businesses selling the latest products and technologies, these shows have become the premier events for the commercial marine industry," said Bob Callahan, Pacific Marine Expo and International WorkBoat Show Director from Diversified Business Communications.
Callahan said he expects both shows to attract record levels of participation. Expo Magazine ranked both shows in the Top Fast-Growth Shows of 2011, with the International WorkBoat Show ranking 7th and Pacific Marine Expo ranking 17th. Diversified Business Communications of Portland, Maine, was the only company with two of the top 20 events on list.
Pacific Marine Expo 2012
Due to multiple events taking place at Seattle's CenturyLink Field Event Center in November, Pacific Marine Expo (PME), for the first time in many years, will be held after Thanksgiving, from Tuesday, November 27, through Thursday, November 29. Show hours will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday.
PME is the largest and longest running commercial marine tradeshow on the West Coast. The Expo serves all aspects of the market, including commercial vessels owners, commercial fishermen, boat builders, workboat operators and seafood processors.
"Last year, the Expo continued its strong growth," noted Callahan. "We filled the entire exhibit hall with over 400 exhibitors, which increased 13% over 2010, and we attracted 8,550 visitors from 40 states and 17 countries."
Callahan reported that 96% of attendees said that PME was the best source for finding new products and supplies and 99% say PME is the best show for their needs. "From free Conference programs to a Boatyard Day to a container ship full of free special events to the latest equipment, gear, services, suppliers, new products and ideas, PME is the total boat solution."
The Expo features the Second Annual Boatyard Day, where National Fisherman and WorkBoat magazine celebrate the boatbuilding industry with a series of special events honoring excellence in boat design, construction and gear for the commercial fishing industry.

International WorkBoat Show 2012
The International WorkBoat Show (IWBS) is North America's largest commercial marine trade show and conference, and is held annually at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center. The 33rd International WorkBoat Show will take place from December 5-7 in 2012.
"The response to the 2011 Show and New Orleans was fantastic," said Callahan. "2011 was a record setting year all the way around. We had nearly 14,000 visitors from 45 states and 27 countries attend the Show, which featured 1,000 exhibitors in over 199,000 net square feet of exhibit space."
Tradeshow Week ranks the WorkBoat Show as one of the Top 200 largest U.S. trade shows.
Callahan said that visitors to the Show represent more than $2.3 billion in buying power. Last year, 88% of the visitors found new products or companies at the Show and 65% planned to purchase as a result of attending. "That's why last year's exhibit floor was sold out," Callahan said.
The 2012 WorkBoat Show features the Fourth Annual WorkBoat Executive Summit, WorkBoat Professional Series and Seventh Annual Shipyard Day, including the 10 Significant Boats of 2012 Awards Ceremony and the WorkBoat Environmental Awards.
"The 2012 WorkBoat Show should continue as the premier marketplace for businesses working on the coastal, inland and offshore waters, " Callahan said.

Could The Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act Affect Your Existing Alimony Order?
