Upcoming Events & Conferences

The Blue Innovation Symposium is the premier event in New England for connecting the marine technology industry for education, networking and facilitating partnering opportunities. The conference brings together a broad spectrum of representatives of the marine technology industry from the US and beyond.  Each year, the program has welcomed more than 270 attendees and nearly 40 sponsors for the three-day event, which included keynote addresses, panel discussions and a unique series of five-minute flash talks.  

This year we will be holding the Blue Innovation Symposium from February 22-24, 2022, in-person. The “main” event will be from 8:00AM-6:30PM, on February 23, face-to-face, at the Wyndham Hotel, Middletown. Side events, held at Innovate Newport from 1-5:30PM on February 22 and 8:00AM-12:00PM on February 24.

As the wind energy sector continue to lower down the cost of operations and maintenance, digitalization and data analytics plays a vital role to achieve further cost reductions & increase revenue.  This conference aims to bring the wind industry together to discuss the market opportunity of digital wind farm, digital innovation and technological challenges for the industry, including how machine learning, digital twin and predictive analytics can enable monitoring and prediction failures to help drastically improve availability, reliability of the windfarm assets & increase revenue and reduce O&M costs.

Hear from the Industry Experts as they come together to share their experience and knowledge as well as look at the future market opportunity of digital wind farm. Wind turbine manufacturers will share their views on technical requirements, standards and drivers for digitalization as well as investigate the latest wind turbine design & technology. Data analytics & cyber security will be discussed to bring an understanding on the importance of accurate data & security and how it plays an important part in the operational and developing phase as well as help predict components failure, reduce operational costs and risks. 

The inaugural edition of Floating Wind Solutions was held in June ’21. It showed a staggering quality program and line-up and was the most talked-about event in the industry. Floating Wind Solutions (FWS ’22) is the ultimate opportunity for those who are presently involved in or seeking entry into floating wind. 

The 2^nd Annual Floating Wind Europe is gearing up to provide attendees with seminal insights for successful operations within a shifted green energy landscape. The forum will bring together leaders within the Wind and Offshore industries accelerating the adoption, industrialization and commercialization of floating wind technology globally and will offer the ideal space for networking with industry players; senior managers, decision-makers, and practitioners operating in the industries and making the most of floating wind technologies.

Join us as we gather these experts, practitioners, stakeholders, and leaders from Europe and the rest of the world to discuss how to achieve cost reduction, explore opportunities for the supply chain, examine the role of innovations and advancement in infrastructure.  In addition, various aspects of floating wind will be presented and discussed in several sessions: From market developments to financing possibilities, technical challenges and, policies & legislative actions as well as best practices.

The Canadian Underwater Conference & Exhibition (CUCE) will be held in the beautiful Nova Scotia Ballroom at the Marriott Halifax Harbourfront Hotel from March 27 – 29, 2022.  In attendance will be occupational divers, diving contractors, military, police and fire service divers, diving equipment manufacturers and suppliers, ROV manufacturers and service providers, diver/ROV training school personnel and students, marine, scientific and engineering personnel and many more.  The CUCE has numerous value-added sponsorship opportunities available and booths for 27 exhibitors.  

A variety of speakers representing Canada, USA, UK, and the European Union will undoubtedly captivate all in attendance with cutting-edge technical presentations.

Halifax is a dynamic urban centre wrapped in seacoast and history and has much to offer including one of the world’s longest downtown boardwalks stretching along the waterfront for 10 city blocks beside the world’s second largest ice free harbour.

Come for the conference and stay to enjoy all that Halifax has to offer!

The Deep Sea Mining Summit 2022 will bring together a large array of solution providers, upcoming deep sea miners, members from the scientific community, and those within allied industries wanting to learn more about the opportunities within this emerging marketplace. 

Following the huge success of the previous Deep Sea Mining Summit, this year’s objective is to build on and identify new and innovative technology developments, technical know-how’s, and to focus on the real challenges which face a new breed of deep sea miners and industry providers. Case studies and real results will address the issues.

Key topics on the agenda include:

·         The economic landscape and growth for Deep Sea Mining

·         Achieving sustainable seabed mining projects in harmony with nature

·         The status of prospecting and exploration, the latest methods and results

·         Regional opportunities to harvest Seafloor Massive Sulphides and Manganese Nodules

·         Working with nations through a regulatory framework, the opportunities and risks

·         Technological developments associated with commercialising Deep Sea Mining

In addition the program will have a unique emphasis on networking and building new relationships, including generating dialogue in applying useful technologies and solutions for adaptation in deep sea mining. There will also be an opportunity to meet new investors from outside the market and to form collaborative partnerships in allied industries for mutual benefit.

Undersea Defence Technology (UDT), as the largest global event dedicated to the underwater defence industry, is a multi-faceted exhibition and conference reflecting the community’s desire for continuous learning and development.

Designed to equip nations to deal with an increasing diversity of threats and challenges, UDT brings together researchers, military end-users and professionals spanning the entire supply chain to evaluate developing solutions in one of the harshest environments known to man.
