SD IEEE Consultants' Network: SEPT "Away Game" -Cheers Oceaneers

SD IEEE Consultants' Network SEPT 2025 Meeting ("Away Game") - Cheers Oceaneers

This month we will join our sister society IEEE -Oceanic Engineering Society for their monthly "blue tech" happy hour "Cheers Oceaneers", which is a monthly get together for:
(1) IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES), San Diego Chapter,
(2) The Maritime Alliance (TMA) and
(3) Marine Technology Society (MTS).

They meet monthly for networking and friendly conversation about everything oceanic engineering, science, Blue Tech, and more. No need to be an IEEE or OES member, or TMA, or MTS.

This month, they will have their big event of the year at a special location - the Maritime Museum of San Diego!

Many thanks to Dr. Christina Connett Brophy, President and CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego for graciously offering the venue to our group! We plan to hold the main presentation aboard the Steam Ferry Berkeley, and then afterwards, we will move over to the Star of India for the "after party" to continue our networking and conversations about all things that are ocean and tech related. Dr. Connett Brophy will also be one of our main presenters for this event.

In addition, we will have Greg Murphy, Coastal Resilience Lead at Fugro, giving us a technical presentation about his and his company's ventures. Greg is also on the Board of Directors for the Maritime Museum, so we have a lot of content overlap for this event - history and future Blue Tech come together!
