About the Conference

The National Harbor Safety Conference is a biennial gathering of maritime professionals designed to showcase best practices from port communities nationwide and facilitate long-term collaboration across the industry. This multi-day event brings together participants from all parts of the country to share case studies, explore lessons learned from real-world incidents, highlight proven solutions, and strengthen coordination with key government agencies.

Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and technical briefings, the conference enables meaningful dialogue on current and emerging maritime issues. With strong participation from senior leaders across federal agencies and regional organizations, the conference also emphasizes the important role Harbor Safety Committees (HSCs) play in addressing local challenges and advancing national maritime priorities.
