Join the leading global ocean energy event to be held for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere in Melbourne, Australia.

The 2024 International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE 2024) will bring together in Melbourne, ocean energy leaders, decision-makers and researchers from every corner of the globe for a rich and exciting programme of sessions, workshops, networking, technical site visits and an insight into Australasia’s rapidly evolving ocean energy activities.

Australia has moved from a target of 26% carbon emissions reduction to a 43% reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050. The ocean energy sector has a pivotal role to play and ICOE 2024 will bring together all the key players in the sector to meet this transformational shift.
