Geo SubSea attended the IPF conference in New York for offshore wind and the renewables industry, despite the current disappointing downturn due to a lack of federal administration support. A solid turnout and excellent talks highlighted industry professionals committed to advancing these solutions and technologies to fight climate change and provide electricity quickly into the grid. We will continue fighting for this effort and we’ll be here when the industry ramps back up again in the future!

Jeff Gardner was a guest speaker at this event to highlight research being done by Geo SubSea and Lobster Robotics to develop innovative technology for deep water environmental monitoring around future floating offshore wind farms. The ‘Recon’ uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) is being built to fill this gap in offshore data acquisition needs which requires safe operation around floating components in the water column (foundations, mooring cables, inter-array power cables) while still providing repeatable, accurate marine scientific information. The study is over a 2+ year period with field demonstrations occurring off the California coast in summer 2027. Message us for updates on progress and further information.

Geo SubSea attended the MRC conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia in November 2025 to learn about the fledgling offshore wind industry north of the border. We met with many local companies and learned about the status of offshore renewables. The company participated as a member of the US delegation assembled by Oceantic Network which was a nice way to get additional introductions to Canadian organizations and agencies. All in all a great trip! Halifax is a very interesting city.

Jeff Motti attended the State of the Coast conference in New Orleans during the week of May 19, 2025. Per the conference name, the event is focused on coastal issues and projects along the Gulf coast that are currently shaping the regional knowledge databases and informing policies at this time. Many experts from the region attend this event which occurs every 2 years. Geo SubSea met with numerous colleagues and new connections to strengthen our presence in that area.

The Geo Subsea Team attended Oceantic Network’s International Partnering Forum (IPF) in Virginia Beach during the week of April 28, 2025. Jeff Gardner, Hallie Graves, and Gabi Byrd met with colleagues, toured the exhibit floor, and attended multiple technical sessions during the conference. Evening and late night ‘marketing’ was also performed. Always a worthwhile conference to go to.
