Cruise Shipping Miami 2014 Refines Conference Program

The four-day conference program scheduled March 10-13, 2014, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, for the 30th annual Cruise Shipping Miami is to feature four thematic "tracks" for 2014, as follows:

"Ship and Ship Operations"; "Global Geography of Cruise Tourism"; "Market Segments"; and "Cruise Product Development".

"The conference program was developed by our partner Seatrade Communications based largely on feedback from attendees and participants following last year's show," said Daniel Read, director of UBM's Cruise Event Portfolio. "We are continuing the effort we started last year to design shorter, more highly focused panel discussions."
