Welcome to the flagship event of OCEANS 2024 Halifax designed to convene and engage the next generation of leaders in marine technology and ocean engineering. In 2024, we are shifting our program from the well-known early Wednesday breakfast to a Tuesday luncheon to make the time more agreeable and facilitate maximum ECOP/YP turnout and engagement. We have assembled a broad coalition of early career thought leaders from MTS, IEEE OES, the Halifax Local Organizing Committee, and the national node of the UN Decade ECOP Programme for Canada to host a discussion on the role of professional societies in stimulating and supporting international and interdisciplinary research and development collaborations such as those envisioned and endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. As always, attendance will be validated on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to ECOPs, YPs, and university students, but others are welcome to attend as space warrants.
