9th Mare Forum Mykonos 2026

Following eight highly successful editions of Mare Forum Mykonos, and building on the conclusions and recommendations of the 1st Mare Forum Chios held in May this year, we are delighted to announce the 9th Mare Forum Mykonos, taking place on 28 August 2026 at the St. John Resort in Mykonos.

Why Mare Forum Mykonos Is a Must-Attend Event

➤ Mare Forum is a Forum of Ideas
Mare Forum conferences are renowned for their dynamic exchange of ideas and spirited debate. There are no long speeches, no corporate sales pitches, and no predictable soundbites. Instead, we foster open dialogue, challenge assumptions, and encourage the free exchange of perspectives among all participants.

➤ Who Will Be There
This exclusive, limited-capacity event brings together a diverse and influential group of participants, including:
Shipping Executives, Shipowners and Ship Managers, Capital Providers and Investors, Traders, Logistics Providers, Energy Executives and Charterers, Regulators, Lawyers, Consultants, Shipbuilders, Classification Societies, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs.

➤ Why You Can’t Miss It
Mare Forum is not just another conference—it is a dynamic annual think tank. It is where innovation meets strategy, and where leading maritime minds converge to shape the future of global shipping through dialogue, insight, and collaboration.
