Working Summit

The Working Summit is at Capacity.

Thank you for showing up for our ocean! We’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the enthusiasm surrounding the inaugural California Ocean Summit. Passes for the Working Summit have reached capacity, and a waitlist is now available. We're already looking forward to next year and exploring ways to expand capacity so we can bring even more members of the ocean community together. There are still plenty of ways to connect, learn, and celebrate through public programming, community events, and live performances. Learn more below and stay tuned for details.
