Oceanology International to Celebrate 50-year Anniversary

Oceanology International (Oi), the world’s foremost series of ocean science and technology events, will celebrate its 50th anniversary at Oceanology International Americas 2019 (OiA), which returns to the San Diego Convention Centre from 25- 27 February 2019.

Following the successful inaugural event in February 2017, the biennial OiA conference and exhibition is once again organized in association with the Maritime Alliance and promises to deliver even more exhibitors and visitors alongside its perennially in-depth and tightly curated conference tracks.

While the half-century milestone will be marked throughout OiA, a dedicated conference program covering the historical and technological advances that Oceanology International has played host to over the years will take place on the final day. This one-off event is free to attend and will run on the exhibition floor, with five hand-picked speakers representing each decade, to be revealed soon.

Launched in Brighton, UK, in 1969, at a time when the ocean industry was booming due to the newly-formed offshore oil and gas industry, Oi has since become recognized as the leading event series for diverse stakeholders from government, academic and research institutions to survey companies, technology developers and business leaders. In 1969, around 600 exhibitors and visitors attended from all over the world, including the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), Oi’s first ever sponsor and still a vital partner today, with its latest position as Technical Program sponsor at OiA.
