About the event

The Maine Fishermen’s Forum is a three-day annual event held over the first weekend in March at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.

The Forum offers dozens of educational seminars throughout the weekend, a lively tradeshow floor with 120 marine-focused vendors, health checks and health resources for fishermen, children's programming and family entertainment, a live and silent auction to provide scholarships to students of fishing families, and fun-filled evening meals and entertainment.
