CHOW Partner Day

Engage with official CHOW partners for this dynamic day of networking, collaboration, and promotion!

CHOW Partner Day is a dedicated day during Capitol Hill Ocean Week where partner organizations, NGOs, businesses, and government agencies come together to showcase their innovations and leadership work, network with each other, and discuss collaborative initiatives related to ocean, coasts and Great Lakes.   

In coordination with the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, official CHOW Partner organizations and individuals plan and host their own events throughout the Capitol region to continue the community’s impact on ocean policy beyond the CHOW Conference.
