ICE Coastal Management 2025

Creating a climate for change

Working at the interface between land and sea has always presented challenging problems for the infrastructure sector to solve.

The ICE’s Coastal Management 2025 conference will bring engineers, contractors, consultants, asset owners and academics to Bristol on 16-18 September 2025 to discuss and consider the future of coastal and marine engineering.

An important networking opportunity, too, the event will feature plenary sessions and presentations putting a spotlight on the latest research and innovative practice.

These will be delivered by leading engineers and academics in the field who are transforming thousands of miles of coastline worldwide, helping to shape the blue economy and, ultimately, creating a climate for change.

The full programme will be announced in spring 2025, but some of the themes that will be covered during the conference include:

  • Exploring how climate change requires a new approach to coastal management
  • Sharing best practice and progress from innovative projects around the globe
  • Defining how the sector will develop to meet the future needs of communities
  • Utilising finance to achieve better outcomes
  • Inspiring the next generation and establishing a climate for change

If you’re currently working on a coastal project – or perhaps you’re an academic building or applying cutting-edge research in a coastal or marine setting – then you need to be at the Coastal Management Conference 2025.

Running across three days, the event schedule will include a two-day conference programme featuring 60-plus presentations on a wide selection of topics, as well as a dinner and an optional short course.

The organising committee is now inviting abstract submissions from those who would like to be considered for presenting at the conference.

For further information about the submission process and relevant timelines, please visit our abstracts tab.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 October 2024.

Registration

Delegate registration for the conference will open in spring 2025. Delegates will be able to attend more than 60 plenary and conference sessions over the two days of the event, attend the conference dinner aboard SS Great Britain and attend at least two offsite visits.

The outline conference programme will be announced later this year. Full details about offsite visits will also be announced shortly.
