The Blue Innovation Symposium

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 theme for this year’s conference is "The Ocean, Data and You," with a focus on data analytics and cyber security. This year's conference, which is being organized by Salve Regina University and sponsored by the Consulate General of Canada in Boston, will be held Nov. 26-27 in Newport, Rhode Island.

The symposium will bring together leading-edge marine technology companies for programming aimed at providing an overview of current trends in the industry, and a showcase of start-up companies to discuss their new technologies. This year, we expect more than 200 attendees and more than 30 corporate sponsors.

The Blue Innovation Symposium is being organized by Salve Regina's Office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education and is part of our effort to connect the University with industry, organizations, state and federal agencies, and other key stakeholders in order to grow the region's economy.
