Introducing the WorkBoat Think Tank

Once again this year we are pushing the limits of commercial marine content with the WorkBoat Think Tank located directly in the Great Hall. Moderated by the editors of WorkBoat Magazine and WorkBoat.com, this groundbreaking, interactive feature will bring breaking news, hot topics and thought-provoking conversation to the forefront! The WorkBoat Think Tank is the place to interact with industry leaders, ask the tough questions, and gain insight.
