As part of SeaFest 2016, there will be an Our Ocean Wealth conference organized for the 1st of July.  The Our Ocean Wealth conference will seek to explore how Ireland can develop its marine economy. The third annual Our Ocean Wealth conference will feature a number of sessions where speakers and delegates can delve more deeply into conference theme of Innovating for the Marine Economy.

Each year, SeaFest endeavours to achieve this by bringing together a mix of business, policy, and public events under one umbrella at a coastal location. SeaFest also provides an opportunity for the host location to showcase its marine infrastructure and achievements, and provides commercial opportunities for the local economy by bringing together a critical mass of marine related events. Last year SeaFest 2015 had 10,000 people attend the three day event.
