2022 Conference

Thank you and see you at CHC2024

Dear participants,

CHC2022 was a great success. We had close to 300 registered participants, 40 exhibitors (at full capacity) and 10 sponsors. The conference offered exciting workshops (including one on S-100 standard which was very popular), captivating guest speakers, a session on women’s leadership in the field, and more than 90 presentations which were of very good quality.

You left with information, ideas and contact details that hold for new promising developments. You will have many other memories, including lively discussions during the very popular exhibitor’s evening, and the sunny evening cruise on the Ottawa River. On behalf of myself and all the members of the organizing committee, I would like to sincerely thank you for having made this hydrographic event a great success. You attended this conference with joy, enthusiasm and in large number raising to the challenge of pandemic uncertainty. Once again, a big thank you, and we say goodbye until we see you for CHC2024! In the meantime, good hydrographic measurements, good seas and good winds,

Richard Sanfaçon
Conference Chairman
