H2O: Home to Overseas Conference 2026

The H2O: Home to Overseas Conference returns to the Halifax Convention Centre on June 8–10, bringing together marine technology leaders from across Canada and around the world. Hosted by the Ocean Technology Council of Nova Scotia in partnership with government and industry, the conference features expert panels, exhibits, workshops, and B2B meetings designed to connect innovators with partners, customers, and investors across the global marine technology sector.

Recognized as one of Canada’s premier gatherings for marine technology, the event provides a platform to explore emerging technologies, international market opportunities, and collaboration across sectors such as maritime security, offshore energy, aquaculture, and marine data systems.

The conference will conclude with COVE Demo Day on June 11, where technologies move from discussion to live demonstration. Registration for the H2O Conference and COVE Demo Day are separate, and attendees are encouraged to register for both events to experience the full week of programming and innovation.
