New look at Seawork 2027 will make the great exhibition even better 

Enhanced areas and improved floor plans will boost businesses opportunities 

The 28th edition of Seawork next year will be getting a makeover to further enhance the qualities that have made Europe's largest on-water commercial marine and workboat exhibition an enduring success, and a must-attend event. 

Two of the three halls at Seawork 2027 are getting new floorplans and areas for the June 15-17 event, which will in part contribute to it being the biggest in its history. 

The large Hall 1 – entered directly from registration – will next year have a brand-new Debut Zone that will give businesses a cost-effective opportunity to experience Seawork for the first time with either a pod or 2x2-sized stand. 

At the same time, the Training & Careers Pavilion will be renamed the Safety & Training Pavilion in recognition of the significant crossover between safety, skills development, workforce training and career progression, to give businesses more opportunities within this sector. 

In addition, the two Conference Rooms are being relocated and attached to Hall 1, which will increase footfall across the wider exhibition area. 

Meanwhile, Hall 3 is seeing its size increase by almost 20%, a significant change that will see further improvements to an already dynamic space. 

Following its success in 2026 and the rapid growth in the sector, the up and coming Autonomous & Remote-Operated Vessel Pavilion will also increase in size and have a more central location. There will also be an associated USV display area on the pontoons that will allow autonomy pavilion exhibitors to demonstrate their creations on the water. 

The expanded Hall 3 will again include industry Pavilions grouping exhibitors with a shared association, including the Workboat Association, Diving & Underwater Intervention, and British Superyacht, alongside Hubs showcasing the Society of Maritime Industries, British Marine, and the HM Government Zone, a dedicated space connecting marine businesses with key UK government departments, agencies, and defence procurement teams. 

Hall 2 continues its vital role as the Innovations Hall, showcasing the latest innovative developments, as well as linking its two fellow exhibition spaces.
