TMA’s Powerful Events Calendar, 2023
March
7
2023
As a member-based organizer, we are constantly focused on opening commercial opportunities for our members. And we’ve found that the very best way to connect our companies to opportunities is by facilitating robust events that bring together the interests that serve our member's purposes.
To live our mission in 2023, we are organizing two international trade missions, and eight events throughout the year.
Where the trade missions are involved, we are working with state and federal agencies to facilitate trade opportunities to foreign markets for a wide range of innovative BlueTech companies.
Where the eight events are concerned, we do not seek to simply feature panelists and speakers to a passively listening audience. Rather, we will seek to facilitate an actively engaged environment where all participants have the opportunity to provide their insights. This group-think approach is designed to generate primer-conversations that will be expanded upon at our big show - the 15th Annual BlueTech Week (November 14-17) in San Diego. Our intention with our events is 5-fold:
1. Feature new and innovative technologies in the ocean and water tech sectors;
2. Outline challenge areas to growth and implementation of new technologies in these sectors and identify possible solutions;
3. Facilitate discussions among participants that solve identified challenge areas;
4. Create dynamic connections and integrated, collaborative possibilities among participating companies that serve points 1-3;
5. Allow for participants to facilitate, and benefit from, commercial opportunities
