SNAME To Sponsor Exhibition

At 90th Annual Meeting In 1982

The First International Marine Technol- ogy Exhibition will be sponsored by The

Society of Naval Architects and Marine En- gineers and held in conjunction with its 90th

Annual Meeting on November 18-20, 1982, at The New York Hilton Hotel. This prece- dent-setting announcement was made by

John J. Nachtsheim, president of the Soci- ety.

Mr. Nachtsheim made the observation that at present, there was no single major maritime industry exhibition with profes- sional/technical society sponsorship held in the United States. He said, "We expect to attract an impressive array of exhibitors from all over the world, who will welcome the opportunity to display their latest tech- nical achievements to our sophisticated au- dience of naval architects, marine and ocean engineers. Our members will not only bene- fit from the outstanding annual meeting pa- pers presented in the two-day technical pro- gram, but learn from the exhibiting compa- nies as well."

The decision to establish an exhibition was made by the Society's Executive Com- mittee based upon a survey of industry in- terest. Policy and planning are under the direction of an Exhibition Committee con- sisting of the following Society members:

Robert J. Bazzini (Delaval), Jerome M.

Gruber (Waukesha Bearings), Robert B.

Hedges (Combustion Engineering), Jack A.

Obermeyer (Texaco), Charles P. O'Malley (Maritime Reporter), Louis E. Rau (Colt

Industries), J. Thomas Schroppe (Foster

Wheeler), and Harry R. Yagel (Westing- house). Robert G. Mende, secretary and ex- ecutive director of the Society, serves as

Committee chairman.
