2026 Docks Expo and Marina Conference Returns to Nashville

The Docks Expo and Marina Conference returns to Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee, December 1-3. The annual conference, presented by Marina Dock Age, brings marinas, industry leaders and exhibitors together to network and build business relationships.

This year’s conference will focus on the challenges and issues impacting the marina and boatyard industry. The education schedule includes 19 expert-led sessions, focusing on marina design and planning, safety, staffing, regulations and strategies for building resilient facilities. Attendees will also be able to take advantage of a pre-conference workshop covering human resource policies and procedures to help marina owners and operators build a better workforce.

The sessions will provide marina and boatyard professionals with opportunities to examine operational, regulatory and planning issues that affect waterfront facilities. The education program also is designed to complement the trade show floor, where attendees will be able to interact with more than 180 exhibitors offering products and services that operators can apply to their own properties.
