The conference portion of the exhibition will showcase the most innovative and up-to-date maritime technology, equipment and services, and has attract- ed hundreds of international maritime companies. Among the exhibitors are: marine equipment manufacturers, suppliers and distributors; shipyards; naval design and marine engineer- ing firms; marine consultancies; manufacturers of electronic equipment; and many other maritime interests. The four-day event will also feature a course in preliminary and feasibility design of ships, a Student Congress, the President's Reception, and traditional events such as the President's Luncheon, Annual Banquet, and Dinner Dance. The 1995 SNAME show is a superb opportunity to view the latest in technology, debate the issues affecting the industry, and expand one's circle of influential maritime professionals. Nineteen sessions comprise the technical portion of the meeting; each designed to aid in assessing issues related to requirements for global competitive- ness, discuss a variety of government initiatives, and evaluate con- cepts and strategies for dealing with changes in the shipbuilding industry. The papers to be presented, and the presenters, are arranged as follows, by scheduled day of presentation. g——————j Scheduled Sessions For Thursday, October 5 Can Technology Revitalize Our Shipbuilding Industry ?
