United by the oceans, united by technology and science

Oceanology International is bringing together the ocean science and tech community in March 2022 for the World’s leading ocean tech and science event.
The 2022 event will be special – not only the first ocean tech event in 2022 but also the first opportunity to meet face to face in 2022.
Oi is the event to meet your next collaborator, the event to meet existing and new clients and the event that is optimised for networking.
As a supporter of Oi the SMI will be at the event to provide support, meet members and network. We are excited about the prospect of attending and look forward to learning in the technical conferences, engaging with the dockside demonstrations and enjoying the opportunity to mix and mingle (safely) with the ocean tech community.
