Our AUVX forum is one of the best ways the global AUV community can exchange ideas and increase their knowledge of these advanced systems.”

The forum is open to all users of Kongsberg and Hydroid AUVs, with limited availability for non-users interested in learning more about the vehicles. The cost of attendance is $450. The fee includes the welcome reception, presentations, panel discussions, workshops, demonstrations and the conference gala dinner, with entertainment.
