OI London: Oceanology International London expands IT, communications and data solutions focus with dedicated ‘Ocean ICT Expo’
Diverse new Information, Communication & Technology (ICT) exhibition aims to support marine science and ocean technology communities to harness the growth in interoperable systems for data acquisition, transfer, storage and analysis
London, 16 January 2017 – Organiser Reed Exhibitions is expanding the world's premier event for marine science and ocean technology, Oceanology International London (OI London), with the launch of the Ocean ICT Expo, a brand new parallel exhibition focused on the IT, communications and data solutions that form the technical foundation for modern oceanspace research and industry.
Taking place in conjunction with Oceanology International 2018 at ExCeL London on 13-15 March 2018, the all new Ocean ICT Expo has been developed as a showcase for the most innovative enabling technologies, including the latest satellite communication, data and networking services that facilitate safe, high speed transfer and use of data from the ocean.
Ocean ICT Expo is the ideal complement to Oceanology International which is firmly established as the leading global event for the further development of ocean based scientific, academic, government and commercial operations including Offshore Oil and Gas, Marine Renewables, Ocean Observation and other ocean resources. By bringing together organisations providing solutions for communications, data storage, networking and analysis, Ocean ICT Expo adds a new data-centric dimension to Oceanology International’s already diverse approach.
The OI conference will expand to include specific Ocean ICT Expo tracks and an additional seminar area within the exhibition, with papers and presentations delivered by leading experts from global software, hardware and communication services companies covering the latest technologies and best use of ICT solutions to enable further progress in data acquisition and analytics.
“While Oceanology International is primarily about the technology, instrumentation, sensor and support platforms required for observing, measuring and operating in the world’s oceans, Ocean ICT Expo is a new platform for the industry to connect with the makers of the IT and communication solutions that enable the delivery, storage and analysis of the ever increasing amounts of data acquired from the ocean,” said David Ince, Event Manager, Reed Exhibitions.
Exhibition space for the Ocean ICT Expo is now available and expected to sell-out quickly. ICT companies and organisations looking to meet and develop relationships with potential buyers from the ocean science and marine technology markets can find out more at www.oceanict-expo.com
