Designed to connect cruise operators with companies in the interior design and outfitting sector, the first-ever Cruise Ship Interiors Expo will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida from 18-20 June 2019.
Free to attend, the event is expected to attract more than 2,000 professionals that are involved in designing, refurbishing, overhauling and outfitting the interiors of cruise ships. More than 100 suppliers will showcase their entertainment apparatus, flooring and decking, turnkey outfitting solutions, fabrics and much more.
Delegates will also be able to attend conference sessions to participate in discussions and hear insights about upcoming industry trends from industry experts and cruise executives. Several key industry players have already joined the advisory board, including Petu Kummala, director of Interior and Architectural Design at Carnival Cruise Line; Jeff Parns, director of Architectural Design and Newbuild at Norwegian Cruise Line; and Jon Ingleton, executive editor of Cruise & Ferry Interiors, which is part of the Cruise and Ferry suite of publications.
The full advisory board can be found on the website and suppliers can e-mail the events team to enquire about exhibition space.
