Register your interest
Attendance is by invitation. Registering your interest puts you on the list for the first round of invitations. The 2026 edition sold out, so early registration is worth it.
Coming soon: confirmed venue, the 2027 speaker line-up, curated founder pitches, exhibitor and sponsorship packages, and lodging rates. We'll be in touch as each is announced.
Why Maine?
Maine is a neutral convening point with real momentum. Strong growth in life sciences and blue economy activity, new research and innovation infrastructure coming online, marine and life sciences and investment partners, and abundant and novel marine resources.
