Introducing the WorkBoat Think Tank

BRAND NEW in 2018 Moderated by the editors of WorkBoat Magazine and WorkBoat.com, the Think Tank is the first ever at-show collaboration bringing breaking news, controversial topics and cross industry discussion to an interactive format! The WorkBoat Think Tank will allow WorkBoat Show attendees to interact with industry thought leaders in an innovative, modern setting. This new addition will be included in the Expo Pass and allow an open forum for hot button topics like safety, artificial intelligence, innovation and more.
