The CPMH Annual Conference 2026 is a major academic gathering dedicated to exploring the relationship between people, ports and the sea through historical research. Organised by the Centre for Port and Maritime History (CPMH) with support from the wider maritime history community, this conference brings together historians, researchers, students and heritage professionals to discuss new perspectives on maritime studies. The 2026 edition is especially significant as it celebrates the 30th anniversary of CPMH, marking three decades of advancing knowledge about maritime societies and their historical development. Taking place at the John Foster Building, Liverpool John Moores University, the event provides a valuable platform for academic exchange, professional networking and the presentation of innovative maritime research. Liverpool’s long-standing connection with global shipping, trade and port communities makes it a fitting location for conversations about maritime heritage and historical transformation. A Leading Conference for Maritime History Research The CPMH Annual Conference has become an important event for researchers studying maritime history, port development and ocean-related communities. The conference explores how maritime activities have shaped economies, cultures, politics and societies across different periods. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from established academics as well as emerging researchers presenting new studies. The programme includes keynote sessions, academic panels and discussions covering a wide range of topics related to maritime history. The conference reflects the broad scope of maritime studies, including: Development of international shipping networks Evolution of port cities Naval history and maritime conflict Social experiences of sailors and maritime workers Cultural memories connected with the sea Environmental challenges affecting maritime industries By bringing together different research perspectives, the event encourages collaboration between historians, institutions and individuals interested in understanding humanity’s connection with oceans and waterways. Celebrating 30 Years of Maritime Scholarship The 2026 conference holds special importance because CPMH celebrates its 30th anniversary. Over three decades, the organisation has supported research and discussion around port and maritime history, helping establish stronger links between universities, museums and independent researchers. The anniversary conference provides an opportunity to reflect on how maritime history has developed as an academic discipline. From traditional studies of ships and naval battles to modern approaches examining communities, migration, environment and global connections, maritime history continues to expand. Researchers today investigate not only vessels and trade routes but also the lives of individuals connected to maritime environments. These include sailors, dock workers, merchants, coastal communities and people affected by global maritime systems. The conference highlights how maritime history can provide important insights into wider historical questions, including economic change, cultural exchange and international relationships. Key Themes and Research Discussions The CPMH Annual Conference 2026 features a diverse programme focusing on important areas of maritime research. Presentations and discussions examine how historical evidence can help understand changing relationships between societies and the sea. One major theme is the role of ports as centres of connection. Ports have historically acted as meeting points where different cultures, economies and communities interact. Researchers explore how port cities developed and how maritime activity influenced urban growth. Another important area is maritime labour and identity. The conference considers the experiences of sailors, merchants and workers who contributed to maritime industries. Understanding their stories provides a more complete picture of maritime history beyond ships and technology. The event also examines the impact of environmental challenges on maritime activities. Historical research can reveal how previous generations responded to changes in oceans, climate conditions and resource management. Networking Opportunities for Researchers and Professionals Beyond academic presentations, the CPMH Annual Conference provides excellent opportunities for networking. Attendees can connect with fellow researchers, university representatives, museum professionals and maritime heritage organisations. For postgraduate students and early-career researchers, the event offers a supportive environment to exchange ideas and develop professional relationships. Discussions with experienced academics can provide valuable guidance for future research projects. The conference also encourages collaboration between different fields. Historians can connect with specialists in archaeology, cultural studies, environmental research and heritage management. These connections help strengthen the wider maritime history community and encourage future research partnerships. Why Attend CPMH Annual Conference 2026?
