There are lots of boat shows, contract managment conferences, marine operators conferences. S.N.A.M.E meetings........where ....and when is the designers show and conference ? I would love to have a chance to show off some stuff make contacts and have a few pints with some of you guys !

Tim,
Stand outside the Post Office in Newport, RI on any non-rainy day, and most of the locals walk by. Today was Dave Pedrick, Rodger Martin goes to collect mail most days, Geoff van Gorkom works across the road, Yves Tanton and I work upstairs, Eric Sponberg has retired from the scene (moved to FL), etc., etc.
A pint? Try "Zeldas" or "Asterix and Obelix" most evenings.

So what your saying is that there is no formal group of designers ? just pints at "zeldas"...here it's the "toucan"

You could try the Chespeake Symposium. Full of designers. Most SNAME meetings are likewise full of designers, but they are harder to find with all the commercial folks around. :)
