An impressive line-up of senior keynote speakers will deliver the ‘view from the top’, setting the scene for the main conference sessions to confront the critical aspects of all core topics in great depth.

Exhibitors from the adjacent MAST Trade show will host featured workshops, which will demonstrate the advancing technology behind some of the conference's key discussions.

Global Trade-Show

With MAST 2007 exhibitors re-booking rapidly, and many taking larger areas, the MAST 2008 trade-show is likely to sell out quicker than 2007 (itself, seven times the size of the inaugural show), and with continued momentum and increasing support for the event, prospective exhibitors are advised to book space immediately to avoid disappointment!

The trade-show halls are next to/above/below the conference rooms giving closer integration of all the audience than before, and delivering immediate access to a spectacular showcase of maritime security and defence platforms, systems and solutions from the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers, government agencies and research/academic centres.

For information on exhibiting in the Trade Show, please call Jackie Baron on +44 (0)1892 824418, or email her at jackieb@eievents.biz.

Lunches and social functions

All delegates, authors and speakers will receive a complimentary three-course gourmet lunch for each day of registration: an ideal time to catch up with colleagues and your global counterparts.

The highlight of the week’s social calendar will be the complimentary MAST Annual Party. With music, food and drink, this extravagant and exclusive function will present the perfect chance to unwind (or network) after a hectic day at the show.

MAST Contact Exchange

A key component of the MAST Community membership area of the website is the meeting scheduler. Regardless of your registration status for the event itself, you can contact similar-minded maritime specialists from around the world. Simply create your own user profile and preferences and the web site will start networking for you!

Unlike any other organiser’s meeting facility, the MAST meeting scheduler is designed to help you to meet valuable contacts at the show, but equally before and after the event.

NB: to make the system as effective as possible, and maximise the contacts you make, please review your profile regularly.

Evolutionary Award for Excellence

Event organiser, Evolutionary International Events, recognises the importance of re-investing into the community upon which it depends to make MAST a successful event. Therefore, a pre-determined percentage of MAST revenues – the Award for Excellence – will be donated by way of bursary to an independently nominated academic institution/research centre.

The 2006 award was made to EEE OES as a contribution towards their scholarship programme at ENST Bretagne, France.

The 2007 award was received by Istituto Superiore di Studi in Tecnologie dell’Informazione e della Comunicazione, Italy

To suggest a recipient for an award, join the MAST community and then vote.

Academic/Research Support

MAST Conference Proceedings will be distributed worldwide to various academic institutions and research facilities, in order that they should become a highly referenced source of information for maritime studies – in turn generating specific interest in authors’ own works.

Diamond Industry Sponsor

We met key potential new customers for future projects that we can’t target on our own.
