The 2027 ICOMIA World Marina Conference Press Conference was grandly held

On March 29th, the press conference for the 2027 ICOMIA World Marinas Conference (ICOMIA World Marinas Conference 2027, hereinafter referred to as "IWMC2027") was grandly held in Shanghai. Representatives from the ICOMIA Council, marina equipment suppliers, yacht manufacturers, tourism organizations, and Asian marina enterprises were invited to attend and join in the celebration.

The IWMC2027, a global event in the marine terminal industry, is jointly organized by the ICOMIA International Yacht Industry Council and Shanghai Bohua International Exhibition Co., Ltd. From the venue of Venice, Italy in 2025 to its first appearance in China in 2027 and its location in Shanghai, this is not only a shift in the venue but also a relay of global port resources and innovative concepts. It is also a crucial stage in the global development history of waterfront areas that the conference has encountered.

IWMC is a professional conference organized by the International Boat Industry Association Council (ICOMIA), and it is held approximately every two years in different locations around the world. Since its first event in Amsterdam in 1993, it has visited numerous renowned coastal cities worldwide, including Istanbul, Athens, Dubai, Algarve, and Venice. The conference covers a wide range of topics related to the long-term development and continuous success of the yacht marina industry, always leading the development trend of the global marina industry.

Michael Duck, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Informa Markets, said: "We are deeply honored that the International Boat Industry Association has selected Shanghai as the host city for IWMC 2027. This location choice is of great significance, providing an important platform for global colleagues in the yacht marina industry to gather in this vibrant maritime city in Asia. As an international first-class port and the gateway for China to the world, Shanghai is an ideal venue to discuss the future development direction of yacht marinas in the Asia-Pacific region. The yacht marina industry in the Asia-Pacific region has achieved a leapfrog development, and large-scale investments in waterfront infrastructure and leisure yacht facilities are reshaping the coastlines of China and Southeast Asian countries."

As a tradition, IWMC 2027 designed a visual identity for the host city Shanghai, incorporating distinctive landmark elements to reflect the city's characteristics and the conference theme.

The icon represents the typical Jiangnan water town image composed of traditional Chinese round arch bridges, pavilions and oarboats. It connects the traditional Chinese water transportation culture with the current port and yacht industries, not only echoing the conference theme, but also conforming to China's historical context of "water as the lifeblood and prosperity towards the sea" and its current strategy of "becoming a maritime power". Shanghai is the geographical extension, cultural origin, economic hub and contemporary gateway of Jiangnan water towns, with their bloodlines closely linked and mutually shaping and thriving.

The reflections of the bridge structure and oarboats in the river water correspond to the main body, forming a circular composition, representing "completeness, harmony and inclusiveness", which aligns with the global cooperation concept of the conference and conveys the Eastern philosophy of "harmony without uniformity". Classical elements are refined into modern concise lines, representing China's commitment to inheriting culture while integrating into the world with an innovative and open attitude. It also reflects China's rising global influence and status in the maritime, yacht and port industries, demonstrating China's confidence as an important economy and maritime power in the world.

The development of China's yacht maritime industry is increasingly vigorous. From cutting-edge sustainable design schemes to comprehensive waterfront communities that reshape port experiences, the construction of Chinese yacht ports has achieved remarkable success. IWMC 2027 creates an unparalleled platform. Participants from around the world can not only personally experience the booming port industry in Shanghai, but also jointly promote this in-depth dialogue that is about to shape the future of the industry. The recruitment for IWMC 2027 has already been launched. We sincerely invite global enterprises to come to Shanghai, realize mutual benefit and win-win results on this fertile soil, share industry resources and cooperation opportunities, and jointly draw up a blueprint for high-quality development of the port industry. As a tradition, IWMC 2027 designed a visual identity for the host city Shanghai, incorporating distinctive landmark elements to reflect the city's characteristics and the conference theme.
