SHIPPINGInsight is opening up partnership opportunities for PROJECT 2027: Catalyzing the U.S. Maritime Industry into Action event taking place October 13–14, 2026, in Houston, Texas, and this is your company’s chance to be seen, be heard and have an impact on our industry’s future.

Partnership opportunities provide organizations with a platform to elevate their visibility, showcase solutions, engage directly with industry decision-makers, and contribute to the discussions that will influence the next decades of maritime commerce. According to the newly released Partnership Guide, organizations can participate through a range of strategic partnership and sponsorship opportunities tailored to maximize engagement and industry presence. PROJECT 2027 is designed to move the conversation beyond ideas and toward implementation.
From Executive Leadership discussions and technology demonstrations to SHIPPINGInsight’s renowned SHARK TANK new technology competition, PROJECT 2027 will highlight the ideas, investments, and collaborations necessary to strengthen the U.S. maritime ecosystem. The event will focus on accelerating innovation, developing the workforce of tomorrow, identify funding strategies, and advancing solutions that support a more resilient and competitive US maritime system and industry.
PROJECT 2027 will convene the leaders, innovators, policymakers, shipbuilders, shipowners, cargo interests, investors, and solution providers needed to strengthen America’s maritime future. Together, participants will help establish the fundamental foundation and industry commitments necessary to move from conversation to implementation.
On October 14th, invited guests will participate in an exclusive Leadership Roundtable designed to capture key insights, identify opportunities for collaboration, and help shape the recommendations that will guide the industry’s next chapter.
Past SHIPPINGInsight partners have leveraged the platform to launch new technologies, build strategic relationships, enter new markets, engage investors, and help shape industry dialogue. Through PROJECT 2027, SHIPPINGInsight aims to expand that impact by creating new opportunities for collaboration among established leaders and emerging innovators alike.
Partnership packages include strategic branding, speaking opportunities, media exposure, networking events, Leadership Roundtable participation, and direct engagement with maritime stakeholders from across the industry. Opportunities range from Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze strategic partnership packages to Association Partnerships and event sponsorships.
Let us know if you want to be part of the discussion.
