Keynote Conversation with Scott Parazynski and Tim Gallaudet

What do the depths of the ocean and the far reaches of space have in common? More than you might think. In this visionary keynote, astronaut and Proteus Ocean Group Director of Space Services Scott Parazynski will share insights from his groundbreaking experiences in space and how they’re shaping the future of ocean exploration.

Following his remarks, Parazynski will join Rear Admiral (ret.) Tim Gallaudet, former NOAA Administrator, for a fireside chat exploring the intersections of ocean and space innovation. Together, they’ll discuss how the tools, technologies, and collaborative mindsets pioneered through space missions are being applied to unlock the mysteries of the ocean—and why the next frontier for human exploration may lie not above us, but beneath.
