More topics and even more networking
We are constantly improving SMM to remain the state-of-the-art business and networking platform for the maritime industry. In response to rising market needs, we’ll continue to expand our special areas as well as offering you new possibilities for presentation, interaction and networking.
Travel free of charge with public transport
For a fast, convenient and environmentally friendly journey, every SMM visitor ticket purchased via the online ticket shop in 2024 includes travel to and from the event by public transport within the hvv network. This will not only make travelling cheaper for all visitors, but using public transport instead of private cars will also make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.
The included hvv tickets make travelling by public transport more attractive, which leads to a lower impact on the environment and a reduction in the volume of traffic in the city. This supports SMM's sustainability strategy and improves air quality.
