(Re)Certification

Your attendance at specially designated sessions and events can earn you credits toward earning and/or maintaining your PE certification.

Have Fun With Your Maritime Peers From Around The World

Let’s be honest – the SMC is a lot of learning packed into a short amount of time. But you’ll also have opportunities to relax and get to know your peers – to collaborate, hear new ideas, and validate or even change your perspectives. Find inspiration in new ideas, find a mentor – or even become one!  (And both the Welcome Reception and Tuesday night Banquet are always crowd favorites!)
