The Marine Structures Tropical Gala Dinner will send off Marinas26 delegates after two full days of conferencing and exhibition. Following the success of the Superior Soiree at Marinas24, Marine Structures, formed through the merger of Superior Jetties and The Jetty Specialist, returns as sponsor of the closing dinner, ensuring the conference once again finishes on a high.

To be held on the tennis courts at RACV Royal Pines Resort, the tropical-themed gala dinner promises a vibrant and relaxed atmosphere to cap off another successful event, giving delegates the chance to unwind, celebrate the industry's achievements and enjoy each other's company.

Dane Morris, Managing Director of Marine Structures, said: "We're thrilled to be part of Marinas 26 and to support an event that brings the industry together. The Marine Structures Tropical Gala Dinner promises to be a standout evening, and we're looking forward to a night of celebration and fun."

Mr Morris added: "The Marinas26 'Future Smart' theme speaks directly to Marine Structures' commitment to innovation and forward-thinking marine solutions. We're focused on creating infrastructure that supports long-term performance, sustainability and growth across the industry."

To avoid missing out, delegates should purchase tickets to the Tropical Gala Dinner when registering for Marinas26. Additional guest tickets can be purchased for those not attending as conference delegates, to enable partners and other work colleagues to attend.

Suzanne Davies, CEO of the MIA, commented, "It is nice to have a theme for the dinner as it gives the event another element of fun, while some may choose to keep their outfits 'low key' others will really get in to the spirit."

Marinas26 is a biennial event hosted by the Marina Industries Association (MIA) and will take place from 24 May - 27 May 2026 at RACV Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast. Built around the 'Future Smart' theme, the conference will bring together marina owners, operators and suppliers for two inspiring days of conferencing and exhibition, exploring forward-thinking strategies and technologies shaping the future of marine infrastructure.
