This symposium will bring together nationally and internationally-recognized experts on arctic marine operations, environments, science, policy, law, and governance including notable speakers from the Alaska Congressional Delegation, NOAA, Navy, USCG, USARC, and other representatives from the US Arctic nations and international community. It will take place at the Navy Memorial’s Heritage Center in Washington, DC.
The event offers a special opportunity to meet, interact, and share your insights about the impact of an ice-diminishing Arctic Ocean on marine transportation, resource development, oceanographic research, federal, state, local and international operations, and policy implications, and many other issues in the rapidly evolving Arctic region.
Registration is COMPLIMENTARY and REQUIRED. Historically, the Heritage Center’s 250 seat auditorium has been filled to capacity so early registration is encouraged.
