The 27th International Cruise Shipping Conference and exhibition which serves the cruise industry, draws more than 10,000 attendees and nearly 1,000 exhibiting companies annually from over 119 countries to Miami Beach, Florida.

The three-day trade show, being held in March at the Miami Beach Convention Centre, will include a number of national pavilions, seven business sectors highlighting information technology, entertainment technology, food and beverage, ship design and refurbishment, ship services and hotel operations, ship equipment and destinations.

Conference sessions cover pertinent industry issues including an assessment of the state of the industry, shipbuilding and refurbishment, environmental issues, product development, and distribution.

New this year is the Green Certificate Programme developed by Cruise Shipping Miami in partnership with Sustainable Travel International. This programme debuted at the Cruise Shipping Virtual, the online tradeshow and conference which took place in September.
