The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) / Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) has confirmed that the OCEANS Conference will return to The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) from 21-24 June 2027, marking the third time the international marine technology event has been hosted in the city.
Having previously welcomed delegates in 2007 and 2017, Aberdeen will once again bring together the global ocean engineering and marine science community for a programme of cutting-edge research, industry innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.
The OCEANS Conference is a major international forum for scientists, engineers, industry leaders and policymakers working in ocean engineering, marine science and technology. It is organised by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) and a local team from University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University.
Steve Daun, head of association sales at The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA), said: “We are delighted to welcome the IEEE OES OCEANS Conference back to TECA. Securing an event of this international stature for a third time is a tremendous endorsement of both our venue and the city of Aberdeen. It is a fantastic opportunity to showcase everything our facilities and the wider region have to offer, and it brings significant economic and cultural benefits to the local area. Hosting thousands of delegates from across the world reinforces our position as a leading destination for major association conferences.”
Laura Wilson, Head of Aberdeen Convention Bureau, added: “With our city’s world-class expertise in ocean engineering, marine technology, offshore energy and subsea innovation, Aberdeen is a natural home for this world-renowned conference. We anticipate sharing the region’s knowledge, innovation, and collaborative strengths with delegates.”
Further details on the programme, call for papers and registration will be released in due course.
