Dear friends and
colleagues, |
ICETECH 10
is a non profit conference organized by the Arctic Section of
the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME)
together this time with Alaska’s Institute of the North. It is
the premiere international conference on ships and structures in
ice. The conference will take place in Anchorage starting with
an opening icebreaker reception on the evening of Monday,
September 20, and concluding in the late afternoon on Thursday
September 23. If you haven’t already, you can still join in this
exciting event through exhibition, delegate and accompanying
person attendance, or sponsorship participation, or all of the
above.
You can
register online for the conference, accommodation, and
tours.
A
preliminary program is assembled and now posted. Note that this program is preliminary and
subject to
change. At this time we are planning 3 full
days for the technical program which will include
two focused panel discussions.
The key dates
remaining for ICETECH 10 are as follows:
Conference Begins:
Monday evening 20 September 2010
Conference Ends:
Thursday afternoon 23
September 2010
The theme of
the conference is "Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice",
which complements the growing interest in Arctic shipping and in
oil, gas, and mineral exploration and production in ARctic
Offshore regions. We have nearly 60 technical and plenary
presentations, which cover a wide range of specialty topics
within our theme and presented by authors from around the globe.
Additionally, we have two panel sessions, both at an
international level - one focuses on Arctic EER and the other on
Arctic shipping (let by
Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment (AMSA) and Transport Canada members).
The exhibition portion of the conference facilitates
networking with leading offshore commercial organizations.
We are holding
the conference at a very scenic location in the heart of Alaska,
and is fully serviced at the well-known five star Hotel Captain
Cook. Take advantage of opportunities to tour
Anchorage
and local cultural centres, as well as more extended tours to
various spectacular natural locations. At our venue, all
conference and exhibition, accommodations, recreation, and
dining facilities are provided, while still affording plenty of
opportunity for tours before and after the conference and for
accompanying persons during the conference. Check out the
available
tours!
On behalf of
the Organizing Committee of ICETECH 10, we send our best
regards, and look forward to your participation!
