Ocean Innovation Conference
September 17 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
You’re invited to join us at the September 17 University of North Carolina Wilmington Ocean Innovation Conference to learn, engage, network, and spark new ideas to create ideas and solutions related to the ocean and coast. This is a high-energy conference for everyone from venture capital, elected officials, and startup founders to youth and concerned citizens. We are proud to be a UN Ocean Decade endorsed activity.
(Early bird rates end on July 31!) Space is limited.
If you had a chance to participate in UNCW CIE‘s *sold out* 2023 Ocean Innovation Conference, these are additions you will see:
- More Innovation Fair participants – so you can meet more innovators
- More time to ask panelists questions – ask and explore each of the topics
- More networking time – meet new people and potential new partners
- More days – second optional day September 18 for a deep-dive into Coastal Resiliency!
We lined up two incredible keynotes – Mark Huang from SeaAhead and best-selling author Susan Casey. Panels are moderated by John Hardin, Jenny (Cordrey) Biddle, PhD, Thom Ruhe, and Randall Johnson. It’s going to be great!
