Save event
Organised by the International Maritime Archaeological and Shipwreck Society (IMASS), the 43rd International Shipwreck Conference is run by wreck enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
The event will host a range of speakers alongside a lobby of stands showcasing various organisations within the shipwreck community.
The conference aims to provide a meeting place for divers, explorers, archaeologists and salvors as well as government and commercial organisations. The organisers are all divers with interests in maritime archaeology and history and the varied nature of the speakers reflects this. A conference can include a world renowned archaeologist alongside a treasure hunter, followed by a diver working on a local project.
This conference is the only regular one of its kind in the UK (and one of the few in the world) where archaeologists and salvors can meet.
Further information will be added to the Eventbrite webpage nearer the time with tickets due to go on sale at the end of October 2025.
