Ocean Economy & Blue Tech Happy Hour Networking in SF

We’re bringing a speed dating format to blue tech and the ocean economy for a twist on traditional networking; think ocean conservation meets rapid-fire connections.

​Guests will rotate through quick (5 to 7-minute) chats with ocean lovers, blue tech innovators, coastal stewards, sailors, educators and other guests. This means more conversations, more inspiration, more LinkedIn connections!

​Whether you’re working on marine robotics, AI and ocean data, shorelines and searise, sustainable aquaculture, hunting for co-founders, surfers, sailors, paddle pals, or simply love the ocean and want to help or learn how to help, come meet new (and known) peers.

​We return to South Beach Cafe near SF Giants stadium (plenty of parking, served by major public transportation routes). There’s a capacity max, so register soon.

Food, beer and wine, Italian coffee and pastries available for purchase.
