Conferences and Workshops

The Maritime Administration's Division of Advanced Technology, Office of Marine Asset Construction and Technology, worked closely with other venues to put on Conferences and Workshops related to the shipbuilding industry's issues and initiatives past, present, and future.  These functions were co-hosted with other agencies and departments and included national and international speakers.   We are always looking to the future for additional conferences and workshops to assist the shipbuilding industry.
