CHECK OUT OUR PLANS FOR nmea 2021

Pre- and Post-Conference Events

20 years ago the concept of developing an international marine education network centered on the Pacific was first discussed at the NMEA 2000 conference in Long Beach, California. That initial discussion resulted in Australian and USA based marine educators collaborating to deliver the One Ocean Marine Forum (OOMF) in association with the NMEA 2005 conference in Hawai’i, and IPMEN was an outcome from that meeting.
