Participants from Big Ocean’s 2011 Think Tank to support science and research at scale, gather outside the convening space.
Global Gatherings
Being a neutral convener is one of Big Ocean’s greatest strengths. In addition to annual network member gatherings, events like Think Tanks, Community of Practice conferences, unique presentations and workshops at international fora, peer-learning seminars, and now virtual Summits are vital ingredients to growing intra-site relationships and expanding best-practice management resources.
The following links showcase the most significant events Big Ocean has hosted with partners from the network's inception in 2010. Pages for older events are being redesigned; they will be back online soon.
