Host/Organize a Session

Be at the Forefront of Ocean Sustainability and Resilience

The EAS Congress 2024 offers a premier opportunity to showcase your organization’s innovative solutions and establish strategic partnerships that will shape the future health and prosperity of our interconnected ocean.

As a session co-convener or exhibit host, you will directly influence the discourse on pressing challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, marine pollution, and food security across the Seas of East Asia. You will network with leading policymakers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders advancing cutting-edge, locally-optimized approaches to issues like responsible fisheries, waste management, coastal and marine ecosystem conservation and restoration, and digitizing ocean data, among others.

This is a rare chance to amplify your organization’s work on a global stage, foster new collaborations, attract investments, and scale up impact.

We invite you to submit an Expression of Interest to convene up to two technical sessions centering on your unique areas of expertise and innovation. Share your organization’s achievements and help light the way towards a more sustainable and resilient shared ocean.

The deadline for submissions  is on May 21, 2024, 11:59 PM (GMT+8). 

For questions/clarifications, kindly contact Ms. Abi Cruzada, the Secretariat Coordinator of PEMSEA, at eas.congress@pemsea.org.
