Registration opens for marine measurement forum

Registration is now open for Marine Measurement Forum (MMF) #71, taking place on 1 July 2026 at Dartington Hall in Totnes, Devon. The one-day, in-person event will bring together professionals from research, industry, and academia, to explore current challenges, emerging research, and future trends in marine measurement technology and methods.

Hosted by Teledyne Valeport, a division of Teledyne Marine, MMF#71 provides a collaborative platform for engineers, surveyors, scientists, researchers, and marine technology specialists to share knowledge, exchange best practice, and build professional connections across the marine measurement community.

This year’s forum will be held at the historic Dartington Hall estate in South Devon, a region with a long established and diverse concentration of marine science, technology and measurement expertise. The depth of capability across research, innovation, and application in the South West makes it an ideal setting for bringing the marine measurement community together.

“The Marine Measurement Forum is built around open discussion and knowledge sharing, and hosting MMF #71 at Dartington Hall allows us to reflect the strength and diversity of marine measurement expertise here in the South West,” said Iain Slade, Head of Product & Innovation, Teledyne Valeport. “We’re looking forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new contributors to what is always an engaging and insightful event.”

MMF#71 will follow the forum’s well established informal format, encouraging discussion and interaction alongside technical presentations. The programme will be complemented by dedicated networking opportunities throughout the day, with an informal evening networking session on site providing further opportunity to continue conversations and build connections.

Attendees can also take part in an optional tour of Teledyne Valeport on 2 July, offering a behind the scenes look at the development and manufacture of oceanographic and hydrographic instrumentation.

A call for abstracts and presentation ideas is now open, and contributions are invited from across the marine measurement community. Those with interesting projects, research, case studies, or practical experiences to share are encouraged to submit presentation ideas to be considered as part of the technical programme. 

“The Marine Measurement Forum is built around knowledge sharing and open discussion, and we’re always keen to welcome new speakers and new ideas. MMF#71 provides a great opportunity for the marine measurement community to come together, share practical insight, and contribute to a collaborative technical programme,” said Emma Johnson, Marine Measurement Forum Steering Group.

Spaces are limited, and early booking is recommended to secure a place at the event.
