Register for the 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. The response from California’s ocean community has been inspiring, and we’re excited to bring so many passionate leaders, innovators, and changemakers together in Santa Barbara this December. 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.

Great ideas deserve a broader audience. Throughout Summit Week, film screenings, keynote conversations, cultural experiences, and community events invite both Summit attendees and the public to explore the challenges and opportunities facing our ocean. Most events are free and open to everyone, helping build awareness, spark dialogue, and inspire the next generation of ocean advocates and leaders. Select events presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures require tickets purchased through their website.
