Upcoming Events & Conferences

Welcome to the Deep Sea Mining Summit 2026, where industry stakeholders, regulators and technology innovators come together to shape the future of seabed resource development. The sector faces complex challenges, including environmental concerns, evolving regulatory frameworks and the need for scalable technologies. Our event highlights progress in legislation, innovation and collaboration, showing how commercial deep-sea mining is moving from possibility to reality. Join us to connect with leading experts, explore emerging opportunities and gain practical insights into the technologies and strategies shaping the next phase of deep-sea mining.

On behalf of the Canadian Hydrographic Association and the Canadian Hydrographic Conference Organizing Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to CHC2026, Canada’s premier hydrographic event, taking place in Montreal from April 27–30, 2026.

Founded in 1682 along the St. Lawrence River, Montreal has long played a central role in Canada’s maritime and economic development. Today, it is a major international transportation hub, welcoming over 2,000 cargo vessels annually and handling more than 35 million metric tonnes of goods. Its dynamic port and strong maritime heritage make it an ideal setting to explore the future of hydrography.

As global reliance on safe and sustainable marine transportation grows, Montreal continues to combine tradition with innovation and advanced technologies. Beyond its economic importance, the city offers a vibrant cultural experience, blending European charm with North American energy.

Join to reconnect with colleagues, build partnerships, and share the opportunities shaping the future of hydrography.

All-Energy is a vital date on the renewable and low-carbon energy industry calendar. The event brings together expertise, knowledge, and innovative technology to help engineer an integrated net-zero energy future—where security of supply is an increasingly important factor.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026, All-Energy continues to connect suppliers of renewable and low-carbon solutions, alongside policymakers, with developers, investors, buyers, and professionals from around the world. The event facilitates meaningful business and knowledge exchange—both on the show floor and in our conference halls.

OCEANS 2026 Sanya, sponsored by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) in Sanya, China, May 25–28,—the premier global ocean technology conference. Set along the South China Sea, this year’s event explores the theme “To the Sea, To the Deep” through dynamic technical sessions, workshops, and a bustling exhibit hall. Key topics include deep-sea exploration, marine AI, offshore wind, underwater soundscapes, and biologically inspired technologies. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and innovate in one of Asia’s most scenic coastal cities.

Submarine Networks EMEA 2026 is the largest annual subsea connectivity event in the EMEA, bringing together 1,500 senior leaders from across the global subsea market for two days of learning, collaboration and networking.

Held at the Business Design Centre in London on 27-28th May 2026, the event provides a platform for cable operators, investors, suppliers and end users to explore the latest developments shaping subsea infrastructure. The agenda features thought-leading panels, technical presentations, workshops, and the first updates on new cable projects and connectivity hubs across the EMEA region and beyond.

Alongside the conference programme, attendees will benefit from extensive networking opportunities designed to foster partnerships and unlock new investment across the subsea ecosystem.

Submarine Networks EMEA is co-located with the Subsea Security Summit & Expo, giving delegates access to two industry-leading events with one ticket. Together, they form the most comprehensive annual gathering for the global subsea cable community.

Held at the Business Design Centre in London on 27-28th May, Subsea Security Summit & Expo 2026 is the leading forum dedicated to protecting the world’s critical subsea infrastructure.

As global reliance on subsea cables continues to grow, so too do the risks facing the networks that underpin international connectivity. Co-located with Submarine Networks EMEA, the event brings together leaders from industry, government, defence and finance to address emerging threats and strengthen the resilience of global subsea infrastructure.

The conference programme features 75+ expert speakers, including cable operators, government agencies, defence organisations and industry specialists, all focused on practical solutions and collaborative action. Alongside the conference, the exhibition will showcase 100+ companies presenting the latest technologies and services designed to safeguard subsea networks.

With extensive networking opportunities across both events, Subsea Security Summit & Expo and Submarine Networks EMEA together form the leading annual gathering for the global subsea cable industry.
