Icon Room, Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington

AWATEA’s 6th Annual Conference will follow the same format as our successful 2011 event.  We will be holding a one-day conference with a trade display again, since it was positively received last year.  The conference day will be devoted to a wide-ranging review of national and international marine energy developments.  We will have some international keynote speakers, as we have in previous years.

We will also repeat the workshop on active projects in NZ waters, which provides a succinct but detailed review of the ‘headline’ projects operating here.  We will follow that with a more interactive workshop, introducing the members of a UK – NZ Marine Energy Mission, sponsored by the British High Commission.  Attendees will have the opportunity for one-on-one discussions with UK-based companies, interested in talking with their NZ equivalents.

AWATEA is also a Maori word meaning 'new dawn' or 'new beginning'. An appropriate name for a new energy source that will play an increasing role in the 21st Century meeting New Zealand´s energy needs and contributing to a secure, competitive and resilient economy.
