"Pacific Maritime Magazine's Seattle AIS Conference was an excellent forum for industry feedback. We had the opportunity to discover new technologies and applications, as well learning the latest regulations and requirements. It was a great opportunity for non-stop networking. A completely positive experience and I look forward to the 2007 Edition! Thanks PMM for creating and continuing the forum"

“As attendees of several past AIS conferences produced by Pacific Maritime Magazine my colleagues and I look forward every year to learning about information technology applications to help us provide better pilotage service on the Columbia. No other conference that I know of gives us access to regulators, policymakers and manufacturers. We’re looking forward to more of the same at eNavigation 2007!”
