OSM26 provides the opportunity to share research, collaborate across disciplines and create deeper connections with a diverse group of attendees from universities, research centers, and across the wider scientific community, all while accessing the world-class content that this meeting offers.
The 2024 meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana brought together more than 5,500 ocean scientists and almost 6,000 total attendees from 60 countries.
More than 100 scientific organizations and oceanic-focused companies participate in OSM as partners, sponsors, or exhibitors.
