Navigating the Future: Coastal Futures 2024 Conference
January 24th and 25th 2024 will see the return of the Coastal Futures Conference, due to take place at Institution Hall, London. Celebrating nearly three decades of fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation, this annual event provides a vital platform for discussion among professionals and practitioners dedicated to the well-being of our coasts and seas. Whether attending in person or virtually, the Coastal Futures 2024 conference promises an engaging and informative experience for over 750 delegates representing 200 organizations.
The legacy of Coastal Futures Conferences dates back to 1994, with the first meeting titled 'Marine Environmental Management – Review of Events in 1993 and Future Trends.' Over the years, the conference has evolved, but its core mission of examining current issues and anticipating future trends in coastal and marine management has remained consistent. The Coastal Futures Conferences act as a vital platform, providing a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by coastal and marine practitioners and offering insights into the latest developments across various sectors. Coastal Futures 2024 promises a rich program featuring strong perspectives from key stakeholders and industry leaders committed to proactive sustainability.
We are excited to announce that Exo Engineering will be supporting the conference, with Operations Manager Will Melhuish delivering a talk on the opportunities for achieving Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) within intertidal environments; a significant challenge to address alongside continued coastal development.
Attendees can expect to gain in-depth insights into current issues, latest developments and potential future trends. The conference seeks to provide a roadmap to the future, highlighting areas of activity that will directly impact the work of coastal and marine professionals. With a deliberate focus on encouraging collaboration among different sectors, Coastal Futures aims to address critical developments and concerns that affect our coastal environments.
The diverse delegate list, available on the Coastal Futures website a few days before the event, serves as a valuable resource for individuals looking to connect with like-minded professionals, industry leaders, and experts in the field.
