Nov. 13-19, 2010 "2nd annual San Diego Maritime Week"
To foster growth and leverage the strengths of the San Diego maritime technology cluster, TMA works to bring together innovative technologies, their makers, users and integrators to share ideas, discuss industry trends and ultimately create opportunities for collaboration through channel partnerships and other means. After several half-day meetings over the previous two-and-a-half years, TMA held its first conference in November of 2009. The 2nd annual Maritime Business and Technology Summit will be held in November 2010 and will featured multiple international participants and organizations involved in all sectors of the maritime technology industry.

Nov. 16-17, 2010 "2nd annual Maritime Business & Technology Summit"
The Maritime Alliance is pleased to host the 2nd annual Maritime Business and Technology Summit & Exposition, Nov. 16-17, 2010, in San Diego, CA. The conference focus is to promote maritime technology and business opportunities in the global maritime technology industry. Because of the very large, local maritime technology community and the convergence of academia, government, industry, and military interest, San Diego represents a rich eco-system for US and international maritime technology companies.
The Conference and Exposition is an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized companies to network with decision-makers representing academia, government, and military as well as to meet potential channel, strategic & technology partners among attendees, exhibitors and speakers. For large companies, it is an opportunity to meet companies from around the U.S. and the world showing innovative technologies that need channel and strategic partners to be successful with large opportunities.

August 4, 2010 "Financing & Export Support for Maritime Technology Companies"
According to a recent study, there are 1,000 marine related companies in San Diego, of which over 100 are maritime technology companies. San Diego is believed to have the largest concentration of maritime technology companies in the U.S. and The Maritime Alliance is the recognized organizer of this important cluster. The marine technology sector has traditionally exhibited strong growth – a result of selling multi-use products to a highly diversified, worldwide client base. This seminar will focus on two important and interlocking topics: promoting international sales and financing internal growth, which is typically a challenge for fast growth companies.

As populations and urban development compete for scarce land resources in island countries and coastal areas, planners and civil engineers have resorted to land reclamation. However, this is an expensive and destructive option. Increasingly, places like Japan, the Netherlands and Monaco have turned to very large floating platforms (VLFPs) which can be suitably deployed in high seas for options ranging from housing to airports to oil exploration.
January 29, 2010 "The Coastal and Ocean Economies � A National, State and Local Analysis"
With Judith Kildow, Ph.D., principal investigator with the National Ocean Economics Program
California's ocean economy directly provided approximately 408,000 jobs and more than $11.4 billion in wages and salaries in 2000, and when multiplier effects are included, those numbers increase to 700,000 jobs and more than $24 billion in wages and salaries. The state's coastal economy is more than $1 trillion. As Dr. Kildow's report underscores, "The natural resources of the coast and coastal ocean are a solid foundation for California's economy and these resources must be sustained to maintain the strength in the six sectors evaluated within the Ocean Economy and the much larger Coastal Economy."
