The 2nd Annual Women on the Water Conference will provide an open forum for discussions highlighting current issues affecting women in the maritime industry. During this event you will hear from professional experts in the maritime community regarding such issues as environmental changes, human factors affecting mariners at sea, industry trends, emerging employment opportunities, and regulatory changes affecting the maritime industry. This will be an invaluable opportunity for maritime cadets and professional women alike to network, build relationships, share experiences and learn about the industry from those women currently leading the industry.
