From 23–26 November 2026, the IADC Dredging and Reclamation Seminar will take place in the inspiring setting of Bali, offering a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of one of the world’s most essential maritime industries.

Why this Seminar matters?
Dredging today goes far beyond moving sediment. It plays a vital role in shaping coastlines, enabling global trade, supporting energy transitions, and protecting ecosystems. As climate change, biodiversity loss, and societal expectations continue to reshape the industry, modern dredging projects must deliver technical excellence and future-proof solutions.
This seminar provides a solid foundation in dredging and reclamation, combining classroom lectures with interactive workshops led by experienced professionals from IADC member companies. Participants gain both technical knowledge and practical insight, including a unique opportunity to follow a complete tender process from start to finish—something not offered in any other dredging seminar.
