About the Event

Where the Maritime
Community Comes Together

SEACON 2027 is the Philippines' premier maritime career and empowerment convention — connecting seafarers, families, and industry at scale.

The Philippines is the world's largest supplier of maritime labour. Yet the conventions, financial products, career pathways, and community platforms built for Filipino seafarers have never matched the scale or significance of the workforce they serve.

SEACON 2027 changes that. A two-day convention designed for the maritime community — not merely about it. Seafarers and families, shipping companies, financial institutions, maritime schools, government agencies, and innovators under one roof.

Presented by Spectrum-PG — the maritime industry knowledge and stakeholder network — SEACON 2027 is the flagship event of the Filipino seafaring community.

Six Pillars of SEACON 2027

Every session, workshop, and panel serves one of six core pillars — the issues that matter most to Filipino seafarers today.

Career & Employment

Connecting seafarers with employers, on-the-spot recruitment, promotion pathways, cadet-to-officer transition, and the global crewing market outlook.

Financial Literacy & Planning

Money management, family financial planning, allotment optimisation, and savings and investment strategies tailored to the OFW income cycle.

Digital Finance & Fintech

Cryptocurrency, digital wallets, online remittance, e-banking for seafarers, and the growing fintech ecosystem serving the maritime workforce.

Future of Seafaring

Autonomous vessels, AI navigation, decarbonisation, green fuels, STCW evolution, and what technological change means for Filipino seafarers' careers.

Community & Wellbeing

Mental health at sea, family support networks, connectivity and welfare, shore leave, and organisations strengthening the seafarer community.

Shore-Based & Beyond

Career pathways after the vessel — maritime management, port operations, logistics, marine insurance, maritime law, and entrepreneurship.
