As a maritime nation surrounded by three oceans, Canada’s defence and ability to operate in the underwater domain, including the Arctic, is vital and of utmost national strategic interest. Deep Blue Forum provides government, military and industry with a platform to learn about new trends, discuss emerging and disruptive technology and forecast new developments in the underwater domain.

Deep Blue is more than a submarine event, it is about operation in the underwater domain in the Arctic and in Canada's coastal and maritime regions.
