Connecting the World of Dredging: Trade Shows & Events

At Ellicott Dredges, we believe that the best way to support the dredging industry is by being an active, hands-on part of its global community. This section chronicles our ongoing presence at the world’s most prestigious maritime and mining conferences—from the Western Dredging Association (WEDA) summits and the World Dredging Congress (WODCON) to specialized events like the Association of Marina Industries (AMI) and CONEXPO. These gatherings serve as a vital platform for us to showcase our latest engineering breakthroughs, share technical insights, and provide live demonstrations of our “Dragon” series technology. More importantly, these events allow our team to connect directly with the operators and project managers in the field. By listening to your unique challenges in person, we continue to refine the innovative solutions that have kept Ellicott at the forefront of the dredging industry for over 135 years.
