The Call for Papers for Underwater Intervention 2017 is being extended. Due to a series of unforeseen technical difficulties in the abstract portal, that have now been resolved, the UI 2017 Leadership Committee has determined to extend the deadline for submitting abstracts to December 16, 2016.

Our technical sessions are of paramount importance, said Phil Newsum, executive director for the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI). They are what drive the entire event. We are determined to develop thoughtful, compelling content, which means ensuring we have a full range of abstracts to work from.

The abstract portal will re-open for new submissions Friday, November 18, 2016 and will remain open through Friday December 16, 2016. To submit an abstract, simply go to the UI 2017 website (www.underwaterintervention.com), click on "Become a Speaker," and follow the prompts.

Underwater Intervention 2017 is the world’s premier event commercial diving contractors, remotely operated vehicles, manned submersibles, and all other aspects of the underwater operations industry. Thousands of commercial divers, operators, contractors, engineers and safety professionals come together to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and evaluate supplier demonstrations.
