The 26th International Conference on
OFFSHORE MECHANICS AND ARCTIC ENGINEERING
San Diego, USA, 10-15 June, 2007

The permanent OMAE 2007 Web Site is ready.

The International Committee of the OMAE Conference has announced that it will return to the USA in 2007. This will be the first conference held in the USA since 2000.

 The site selected in San Diego, California situated at the extreme southwest corner of the country, a neighbor to Tijuana, Mexico.  Conference Chair, Dr. John Halkyard, said “I am very excited that San Diego will host this important event.  Our organizing committee includes key members of the Navy research community and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.  We plan to maximize the interaction and technology exchange with these San Diego constituents.”   San Diego is a great venue for visitors with sites such as the World Famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World, the USS Midway and some of the worlds best weather.   We have selected the Paradise Point Resort on Mission Bay as the conference venue.  This is conveniently located between San Diego’s downtown and La Jolla, home of Scripps Institution of Oceanography.  Sail boat rentals and beach lounging are just a few of the activities awaiting delegates.
