Oceanology International Americas runs June 4–6; it is a leading marine science and ocean technology conference bringing together all sides of industry, science, research, and academia. The program features a broad range of presentations on marine science, technology, operational oceanography, policy, and education.  The audience includes a broad-based cross-section of the science and technology community involved in offshore oil and gas exploration and production, navigation, oceanographic research, remote sensing applications, coastal zone management, marine civil engineering, marine environmental sciences, fisheries and natural products, meteorology, national security, ports and harbors, marine survey, and hydrography.

Registration is free and includes access to the various sessions, as well as to the exhibit hall where poster sessions are held and exhibits are on display.  Exhibitors from academia, the federal government, and many national and international companies are on hand to showcase their research and answer questions.
