The spotlight will be on new launches on the exhibitor floor and demonstrations at the live in-water dockside location, with hundreds of exhibitors preparing to introduce products and showcase developments across the fast-paced ocean technology, science and engineering sectors.

Featuring a compelling line-up of industry-leading speakers, the full strategic Oi Conference Program will encompass a diverse range of Technical Sessions and Ocean Futures-focused content across five different conference locations. World-class scientists, thought leaders and innovators in the vanguard of the global ocean tech community will bring insightful and original content.

Among the key contributors to the conference program are Rick Spinrad, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Administrator, who is the keynote speaker at the opening plenary of the Ocean Futures Theatre, where thought leaders will discuss meeting future ocean technology needs. Sir David King, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, will speak at the Catch the Next Wave conference – returning for 2024 on the final day with a special edition focusing on the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Dockside Demonstrations

On the Royal Victoria Dock, the Dockside Demos feature gives visitors the opportunity to experience different vehicle, imaging, sonar and instrumentation technologies live and outdoors, in- and on- the water.

Viewing platforms and micro theatres enable close scrutiny of the technology, while the operators are on hand to provide more information.

On the dockside, attendees can join brands such as Teledyne Marine, Blueye Robotics, Ocean Power Technology and Maritime Robotics and see live demos of data steaming in from vehicles and vessels in the water.

OceanICT

A co-located event within the main exhibition hall, OceanICT Powered by ON&T will engage with information and communication technology (ICT) experts and discover how recent breakthroughs are facilitating a smarter, more sustainable ocean through greater connectivity. It will connect AI, communications, satellite, IT and IOT solutions providers with key ocean- and water-based end user sectors from around the world.
