Sponsors and Exhibitors

WELCOME

We warmly invite you to be a part of Ocean Optics XXV, the leading international conference on hydrologic optics. The conference planning committee is delighted to offer your organization the opportunity to participate as a Conference Sponsor and/or Exhibitor. 

The biennial Ocean Optics Conference attracts a diverse audience of active practitioners, including oceanographers, marine ecologists, limnologists, optical engineers, marine resource managers, Earth observation scientists, and policy professionals from around the world.

Following the traditional Ocean Optics Conference format, the event will include invited plenary speakers, selected scientific oral presentations, and numerous poster presentations. In addition, community-wide discussions in the form of workshops and short courses will be held. 

Ocean Optics XXV will be convened at the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) in Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam. Designed specifically to host scientific conferences, ICISE is an ideal venue for making presentations and conducting training. There will be abundant opportunities for networking, always an important component of Ocean Optics Conferences. The conference center is located on the coast between the mountains and the sea, with easy access to Quy Nhon. 

We look forward to seeing you in Quy Nhon in 2022.

– Hayley Evers-King, Blake Schaffer, and Cedric Jamet, Co-Chairs, Ocean Optics XXV

PROGRAM THEMES

In 2022, the Ocean Optics Conference celebrates its twenty-fifth installment. This niche event attracts a multidisciplinary audience who continue to innovate and apply the discipline of hydrologic optics to solve today’s scientific challenges.

The Ocean Optics Conference covers a range of research themes, including (but not limited to): 

• Radiative transfer and optical theory
• Instruments, techniques, and observational systems
• Remote sensing (passive and active)
• Autonomous airborne/underwater vehicles
• Phytoplankton ecology and biogeochemistry
• Sediment transport and water quality
• Environmental management applications
• Earth system science and global change
• Benthic processes

The conference typically attracts an international audience of 250+. This size allows exhibitors to easily network with conference participants and demonstrate their products and services.

Following the traditional Ocean Optics Conference format, participants will attend plenary presentations during the day and interact with colleagues during morning and afternoon coffee breaks, as well as during scientific poster sessions. Other opportunities for networking include social events such as the icebreaker reception and the awards banquet.
