91st SNAME

Second International

The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers will hold its Annual Meeting, the 91st, in conjunction with an expanded In- ternational Maritime Exposition at the New York Hilton Hotel on

November 9-12, 1983.

The Technical Program prom- ises to be outstanding with presen- tations of 12 technical papers in the Trianon and Mercury Ball- rooms. Subjects range from com- puter programs through ship sys- tems and descriptions to a paper on the history of The Jones Act.

Last year's Exposition was so well received and so successful that for 1983 it has been expanded in both size and scope. Exhibiting will be 139 companies occupying more than 22,000 square feet of exhibit space on the second floor of the hotel.

Last year, all exhibit space was fully booked at a very early date and when the exposition opened there was a long and impressive waiting list of leading firms hop- ing for last minute cancellations.

Again this year, although the ex- hibit area has been substantially enlarged, a tremendous growth in interest in this premier marine trade show has resulted in another waiting list. Again, marine prod- ucts and services of all types will be demonstrated and displayed be- fore one of the most distinguished and influential audiences ever as- sembled at any marine exhibition.

Over 3,000 of these important in- dividuals attended last year's show.

In an informal survey conducted at last year's exposition by Mari- time Reporter, almost all exhibi- tors stated the SNAME Show was the most successful and productive in their experience.

Meeting entitles the registrant to free admission to the Exposition at any time it is open. Non-regis- trants to the Society's Technical
