TEAM14 recently returned from the San Diego OCEANS’13 Conference and I am happy to say it was a HUGE success,. The Oceans Branch of the Dept of Innovation, Business and Rural Development received the MTS International Compass Award and our own Marine Institute’s MTS Student Section won the MTS Outstanding Student Section Award. What an achievement and congratulations to both for their hard work and dedication.
Strong representation from the NL Business and Academic community in San Diego and the recognition that we received was second to none. When the International President of MTS invites the TEAM from NL to stand at the MTS AGM and acknowledges their presence, energy, commitment and hard work (it’s never happened before) for an event that hasn’t even happened yet, you know its a recipe for success !
OCEANS’14 sold in excess of 56% of the booth space available for next year’s event while in San Diego, that in addition to our sales prior to and since mean we are now 72% committed.
So that doesn’t leave many spaces available for an event that is still 11 months out !

The Local Organizing Committee believes this will be a tremendous opportunity to show the international oceans community (both research and business) just what an amazing place Newfoundland and Labrador is. Between our incredible business climate; our superlative academic community and our outstanding research facilities we truly are a world-class Oceans Community.
