THE PROGRAM

IOS6 explores what we can expect from and ask of the oysterin environmental and 
human affairs, now and into the future.  Do you see opportunity for economic growth,
a biologic key to health, a declining natural resource in need of restoration, or
compliant machines working on our behalf?  Many envision a future with oysters helping
to save our planet's well being by sustaining the ever-growing human population 
while keeping pace with sea level rise.  Key questions:

* Are all points of view and interests across the oyster community compatible, or
are some mutually exclusive?
* As a community, how can we vigorously champion oysters without getting in our 
own way of realizing the oysters' full potential?
* Where are the successes and obstacles to industry growth, water quality remediation,
repopulation, and community engagement?
* Can we find oyster common ground?

Round-table Interdisciplinary Sessions will tackle challenges and highlight successes

Open Time is scheduled each day for Ad Hoc meetings that emerge spontaneously.

The Trade Show showcases new technologies aimed at improving consumer safety and

of oyster art and products created especially for IOS6.

Dynamic? Yes.  Productive?  That's the full intention.
