Registration is now open for Pacific Marine Expo 2026, bringing the commercial fishing and maritime industries back together in Seattle Nov. 19-21.
This year, Expo is moving to a new home at the Seattle Convention Center Arch Building in downtown Seattle, putting attendees within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, Pike Place Market, and the waterfront. The move marks a change from the show’s longtime location at the Lumen Field Event Center.
For more than 50 years, Pacific Marine Expo has brought together commercial fishermen, vessel owners and operators, boatbuilders, seafood processors and other members of the working waterfront. The 2026 show will feature hundreds of exhibitors showcasing marine equipment, fishing gear, electronics, propulsion, safety equipment and other products and services.
Attendees will also have access to a free three-day education program, with sessions focused on issues facing the commercial fishing and maritime industries. The show will include familiar features such as the Alaska Hall and National Fisherman Arena, along with networking opportunities and special events throughout the three days.
New this year is the National Future Fishermen Summit, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 20. The event will bring together young and aspiring commercial fishermen, deckhands, captains, industry leaders, and workforce development organizations from around the country for networking, mentorship, and discussions focused on building sustainable fishing careers and businesses.
Advance registration for Pacific Marine Expo is free, while onsite registration costs $55.
Pacific Marine Expo runs Thursday, Nov. 19, through Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Seattle Convention Center Arch Building in Seattle.
