Welcome to the 30th annual Underwater Technology Conference!

The Marine Measurement Forum (MMF) is a series of one-day, non-profit events that has been running since 1983. It provides excellent opportunities for networking and the informal exchange of ideas, knowledge, techniques, and developments across an extensive range of marine scientific measurement activities.

During an MMF ‘day’ a series of short presentations on diverse marine measurement topics are interspersed with refreshment breaks that offer delegates the chance to network with like-minded colleagues.

The Dredging Summit & Expo ’24 is a technical conference organized by the Western Dredging Association (WEDA) to promote the exchange of knowledge in fields related to dredging, navigation, marine engineering, and construction. It will provide a forum for improving communications, technology transfer, and cooperation among associations & societies while emphasizing the importance of understanding and developing solutions for problems related to protecting and enhancing the marine environment. The conference will take place at the JW Marriott in downtown Tampa, FL, from June 24-27,2024.

The event showcases the industry by covering all technologies: fixed and floating wind power, tidal energy, wave energy, marine thermal energy (SWAC & OTEC), floating solar (FPV), salinity gradients energy and related industries such as: energy storage, digital, decarbonated maritime transports (wind-powered & hydrogen), drones or eco-designed materials…

The event brings together more than 3,500 international players (politicians, ordering institutions (energy operators and industrials), technological experts, NGOs, researchers, investors, and subcontractors) around an exhibition area gathering +200 exhibitors from around the world, industrial and technical talks & presentations, business meetings, pitches and workshops on specific topics related to blue growth economy. Seanergy also gives the opportunity to visit the top sites of the French offshore renewable energy players and get first-hand insights on how the French industry is on the job to deliver new and compelling projects.

Australia Wind Energy 2024 (#AuWE2024) will be back at MCEC Melbourne from 9th to 11th July 2024, bigger and better than ever! This extraordinary event presents an unparalleled opportunity for you to forge strategic partnerships in the thriving Australian offshore and onshore wind industry. With our event space and attendee numbers doubled, we proudly stand as the largest wind event in Australia and the entire APAC region, welcoming a staggering 5,000 energy enthusiasts.
