Innovation Waves 2025 – New Dates Announced
Innovation Waves will now take place December 1–3, 2025 at the Delta Hotel, in St. John’s, NL.
While the dates have shifted, the program remains the same—bringing together leaders from industry, government, and research to explore opportunities in Arctic operations, offshore energy, marine defence, aquaculture, ocean observation, subsea robotics, and more.
From expert panels and keynotes to site tours and B2B matchmaking, you can still expect the same high-calibre content and networking opportunities—now in early December.
We look forward to welcoming you this December in St. John’s. Be sure to secure your spot by registering today.
