Oceanology event for North America

Ocean science and marine technology exhibition and conference, Oceanology International (OI), is expanding with a new North American event.

Like the London event, OI North America (OINA) will bring the North American and international markets together to discuss the use of ocean technology.

It will feature a substantial exhibition and multi-track conference covering the core topics of relevance to the ocean science and marine technology community. These include unmanned vehicles and vessels; ocean observing systems; positioning and metrology; hydrography, geophysics and geotechnics; relevant offshore oil and gas topics; marine renewables; and new sessions on the Blue Economy; BlueTech and Blue Jobs. Networking will form an important role at icebreaker and other social events; and so too will waterborne activities.

The event launches with the backing of local, national and international supporters including The Maritime Alliance (TNA) and the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT).

OINA will take place from 14 to 16 February 2017 at the San Diego Convention Centre in California.
