International Partnering Forum (IPF) 2026

The International Partnering Forum (IPF) 2026 will take place February 9–12, 2026 in Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel, New York City, organized by the Oceantic Network. The central theme is Energy at Sea, focusing on large-scale ocean energy projects and next-generation marine technologies. The event opens with an Opening Plenary featuring leaders from NYSERDA and global industry executives, setting the stage for discussions on offshore wind ecosystems, ports, projects, supply chains, and transmission.

Throughout the summit, attendees can join conference sessions and panel discussions covering offshore wind development, wave and tidal energy integration, floating solar, and emerging technologies such as marine carbon removal. These sessions will highlight the latest R&D, pilot projects, and policy frameworks shaping the ocean energy economy.

Key highlights also include networking events and tactical discussions, connecting participants with port authorities, vessel operators, investors, and policymakers. Strategic sessions will address supply chain readiness, infrastructure planning, and collaborative solutions to accelerate America’s ocean energy future. With its broad scope, IPF 2026 is positioned as the leading forum for advancing offshore wind and ocean energy innovation in the U.S. and globally.
