The Industrial Members Committee is working hard at organizing the industrial exhibition where IALA industrial members display their latest products and technologies and meet with their customers.  On top of this regular exhibition our Korean hosts, very keen on highlighting the importance of the maritime heritage intend to have an exhibition on lighthouse heritage during the whole Conference period.  All members are welcome to take part with artefacts and other valuable historical elements.
