SNAME 1991 An 1 Oth Annual Internation One of the most impor- tant marine shows in the U.S., the Soci- ety of Naval Architects and Marine Engi- n e e r s (SNAME) Annual Meeting and In- ternational Maritime Exposition will holdits 1991 conference in New York City from November 13-16. The three-day event will be held at the newly renovated New York Hilton Hotel. The show returns to New York following last year's presentation in San Francisco. Last year the show was held outside New York for the first time in its history. Attendance and the number of exhibitors was down slightly last year, due in part to the limited amount of exhibition space at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco. This year, the number of exhibiting companies is in excess of 100 and attendance is expected to be in the area of 2,000, according to a society spokesman. The exhibition area will be located in the new Ameri- cas Halls facility on the hotel's third and fourth floors. The 1991 International Maritime Exposition marks the 10th anniver- sary of the joining of the exhibition with the annual meeting. Located in Americas Hall I and II, the expo- sition will be showcasing over 100 companies providing an excellent forum to meet marine industry pro- fessionals. Exhibitors from Europe and North America will display marine products and services in- cluding diesel engine sales and re- pair, ship and boat construction, maintenance and repair, navigation and communication technology, valves and piping, lifesaving equip- ment, controls and control systems, New York, New York, deck machinery and cargo-handling equipment and vessel design and engineering services. The technical program will once again run concurrently with the ex- position. The papers committee, under the direction of chairman Jack W. Abbott, has selected 15 papers covering a diversified array of subject matters to comprise the technical program scheduled for Thursday, November 14, and Fri- day, November 15. The first two papers presented in the Trianon Ballroom on Thursday morning, November 14, will focus on resistance and powering. The 103 Maritime Reporter / Engineering News
