Join us in June 2026 for the PNWA Summer Conference in the beautiful coastal town of Newport, Oregon. Nestled along the central Oregon coast, Newport offers stunning ocean views, a vibrant working waterfront, and a welcoming community that reflects the heart of the maritime industry.

This mid-year gathering is one of PNWA’s most anticipated events — a chance to connect with colleagues from across the region, hear from leading experts on timely maritime issues, and take part in conversations that shape our shared future. Beyond the conference sessions, attendees will enjoy a special experience highlighting the unique character of the Oregon Coast, from its bustling port facilities to its charming coastal attractions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and experience the best of both PNWA and Newport.
