We are seeking members eager to share their expertise as presenters at the PVA Annual Convention at MariTrends 2026 which is taking place Feb. 22-25, in Covington, Ky. Your experiences and insights are the bedrock that supports the success, safety, and growth of the passenger vessel industry.
Submit a presentation proposal to share your knowledge with fellow operators, associate members, and maritime partners. From giving a seminar to leading a roundtable to moderating a panel, being a speaker at the PVA Annual Convention is an opportunity to connect with colleagues throughout the passenger vessel industry.
Whether your focus is safety, operations, marketing, customer experience, sustainability, technology, or workforce development, we want to hear from you. Presentations must be educational in nature and not a commercial promotion for your company.
As a session presenter, you’ll have the chance to inspire and educate all those in attendance and show off your skills in the process.
Presentation Format
- Provide “how-to” information that session attendees can use efficiently and effectively in their businesses.
- Make your session interactive, encouraging attendees to ask questions and engage in two-way communication.
- Please, no commercials or sales pitches. Presentations are for the purpose of educating and sharing knowledge, not for demonstrating your company’s products or services. We offer our exhibit hall for conducting sales.
- Associate members, please refer to the PVA’s Associate Councils Convention Presentation Guidelines.
Visit the PVA Annual Convention site for topic suggestions to spark an idea for your presentation. We welcome fresh ideas and perspectives, so don’t feel limited by the topic list, submit a proposal for your own idea today.
We look forward to your contribution to another impactful PVA Annual Convention at MariTrends.
