The Palma International Boat Show is once again supporting the Nautical Congress, which will offer a clear and ambitious vision of the current situation in the sector
The 13th Nautical Congress, organised by the National Association of Nautical Companies (ANEN) and sponsored by the Palma International Boat Show (PIBS), will be held on 12 and 13 March 2026 in Huelva. This edition is geared towards looking to the future, sharing a strategic vision and building, through dialogue and experience, the next chapter in the nautical sector in Spain.
This event will offer a clear and ambitious vision of the current state of the sector, addressing the renewed cycle of the blue economy, highlighting the adaptability of the naval industry and the importance of leadership, talent and efficient management. It will also link nautical activities with high-end blue tourism — from luxury and high-end gastronomy to sustainable wellness experiences — address the modernisation of nautical and sports infrastructure, and close with a forward-looking view of the trends that will shape the sector: technological innovation, electrification, artificial intelligence, new business models and the drive towards internationalisation.
With more than a decade of experience, the Nautical Congress has established itself as the benchmark event for the national nautical community, distinguished by the excellence of its speakers, the eminently practical focus of its content and its ability to bring together companies, public administrations, institutions and key professionals in the sector.
