It is scheduled for December 2–4, 2026.

The 2026 conference takes place at Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Published audience categories include commercial diving contractors, government agencies, manned submersible interests, manufacturers and users, and marine archaeologists.

It is most useful for commercial diving contractors, equipment manufacturers and government agency staff, since the multi-track technical program draws speakers such as IMCA's diving manager Bill Chilton and Carlos Barrera of PLOCAN, and the listed attendee groups cover contractors, manned submersible operators and marine archaeologists in one place. Professionals outside diving and subsea work, or those wanting only a small regional meeting, would get less from a conference run by Diversified Communications at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

Attendees at offshore and diving industry conferences usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts or company polos with slacks or khakis. Comfortable shoes help in a large convention center, and December in New Orleans is mild, so a light jacket is enough.
