The European Maritime Day (EMD) is the annual two-day event during which Europe’s maritime community meet to network, discuss and outline joint action on maritime affairs and sustainable blue economy.
In parallel with the annual EMD Conference, a series of local EMD events are organised all over Europe for the public at large.
Get involved
Thematic workshops organised by maritime stakeholders are at the core of the conference. Workshop organisers design and manage their session.
The EMD exhibition space is an ideal place for stakeholders to meet, exchange experience and discuss the latest developments.
