FrontM Returns As Official Virtual Platform Partner For Marine Insight Summit 2026, Marking 3rd Consecutive Partnership

FrontM is back for a third straight year as the platform behind the Marine Insight Summit, and this time it’s bringing a fully rebuilt version of its Loft Events platform. Built on the company’s onship ecosystem, the AI-driven upgrade will host the two-day virtual summit with event assistants, live engagement tools and a direct line into the seafarer community.

Marine Insight, a premier maritime media and knowledge platform, today announced the return of FrontM Ltd, a UK-based maritime connectivity and digital engagement company, as the Official Virtual Platform Partner of Marine Insight Summit 2026.

This marks the third consecutive edition of the summit that FrontM has powered, extending a partnership that began with the very first Marine Insight Summit.

For 2026, FrontM returns with a newly upgraded, AI-driven version of its Loft Events platform to host the two-day virtual summit, taking place on 17-18 September 2026. The platform brings an AI event assistant, live polling, gamified engagement, and interactive virtual sponsor booths with their own analytics.

“We’ve now been alongside Marine Insight for every edition of this summit, and this year’s version of Loft Events is the most capable one yet, with a faster, more intuitive user experience, smarter AI assistants, and deeper Onship integration for maritime professionals and businesses,” said Anne Marie Barclay, VP of Commercial Operations at FrontM.

“FrontM has been with us since the very first Marine Insight Summit, and having them back for a third year running says a lot about how well this partnership works,” said Raunek Kantharia, Founder and Editor-in-Chief at Marine Insight.

“A share of our audience is onboard, not sitting behind a desk, and FrontM’s Onship integration means we can put the summit directly in front of seafarers through a channel they already use.

Each year the platform has gotten sharper, and this year’s AI-driven upgrades let us run a more data-driven event for both our attendees and our sponsors.”
