[SEMCO] Information Session on Oceans '14 conference- June 25th

[Erin.Donahue at international.gc.ca]

As many of you may know, the annual Oceans MTS/IEEE conference will take place in St. John's Newfoundland, September 14-19, 2014.  This year's conference features the theme "Oceans: Where Challenge Becomes Opportunity"  and will provide a review of recent technical advances in oceanic engineering, science and technology.  As a Centre of Oceans Excellence, St. John's plays host to satellite locations for most major oil and gas companies.   The conference will attract many of the oil and gas companies and we have been encouraging folks to focus on the business to business opportunities that will be happening outside the normal educational and trade components of this international show.

We hope you will be able to join us for this event on June 25th to learn more about some of the programing going on around this year's conference.

Best,
Erin
