About event
The European Maritime Day (EMD) is the annual event during which Europe’s maritime community meet to network, discuss and outline joint action on maritime affairs and sustainable blue economy.
The 2026 edition of the EMD will take place in Limassol, Cyprus, on 21-22 May as a physical event, at the Carob Mill event premises in the old town of Limassol: Carob Mill Restaurants . We will also hold workshops in the nearby Plesfis building.
The EMD is the place where ‘Ocean Leaders Meet’. It provides an engaging and completely interactive experience to catch up on the current state of play on a broad range of issues concerning the blue economy and the marine environment and to discuss ways of moving forward.
It features a large number of inspirational speakers, thematic sessions and stakeholder workshops organised by stakeholders and the European Commission. The EMD targets professionals from businesses, governments, public institutions, NGOs and academia as well as EU citizens interested in the Sea.
The EMD 2026 is organised by the European Commission, the Shipping Deputy Ministry of the Republic of Cyprus and the Limassol Municipality.
