About NEXT GEN Workshops
The NEXT GEN programme builds on our experience of running specialist training for over 100 maritime organisations. Focused fast moving days bring together a unique mix of end-users, solution providers and maritime expertise. This knowledge helps to shape decisions that lead to improvements for in-service vessels and procurement of next generation systems.
NEXT GEN delivers accelerated knowledge transfer by conferences, workshops and specialist events that engage with a wide range of stakeholders. The aim is to integrate forward thinking individuals with new and experienced companies to develop technologies, products and processes that are viable and sustainable for the end user.
NEXT GEN provides organisations with relevant subject matter expertise plus an independent overview of how the sub IMO / sub 24m sector is rapidly changing. Attendees include end-users, commercial boat operators, boat builders, engine manufacturers, mechanical & electrical engineers, naval architects, the defence sector, government bodies and maritime legislators.
Even long established organisations need to interact at the concept stage to ensure that industry understands their needs, now and in the future. For designers and manufacturers, NEXT GEN workshops enable discussions that help to define strategic product development requirements regarding high speed craft, marine and special projects.
