H2O HOME TO OVERSEAS
CONFERENCE

June 7 – 9, 2021HalifaxNova ScotiaCanada

The Ocean Technology Council of Nova Scotia in partnership with the Government of Canada, the Province of Nova Scotia and the Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship is pleased to present the H2O: Home to Overseas Conference on Monday, June 7 to Wednesday, June 9, 2021.

While the conference will be virtual for 2021, there will still be many opportunities to engage with prospects & build relationships globally. To ensure maximum networking our B2B meetings platform will be available for two weeks over our conference dates, and will connect attendees through interactive tools like chat and videos.

With recent restrictions enacted by the Province of Nova Scotia, due to rising cases of COVID-19, we are making changes to the format of the COVE Demo Day to reflect our commitment to safety protocols. Demos will now be pre-recorded and available for viewing on June 8 using the H2O conference virtual platform. Conference participants will still have the opportunity to actively engage through the event platform with those showcasing their technology at the COVE Demo Day. This new format will allow all demos to be viewed on June 8.
