Originally scheduled for January 30-February 1 in New Orleans, Underwater Intervention 2006 has been moved back a week and relocated to Tampa, Florida. In the months following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the city received multiple reservations for conventions and meet- ings forced to relocate from New Orleans. Scheduled for January 24-26, the exhibits and Technical Program will be staged at the Tampa Convention Center. Headquarter Hotel is the Hyatt Regency Tampa with the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel as another conference hotel. Both properties are offering preferred rates to Underwater Intervention attendees, exhibitors, and pre- senters. Underwater Intervention 2006 will feature exhibits and information about Commercial Diving, ROVs, AUVs, Oil and Gas, Marine Construction, Shipwreck Exploration and Salvage, Submarine Cable, Communications, Bridges and Dams, Nuclear and Hydro Energy, Ocean Mining, Oceanography and Marine Technology. This year, the usual tutorials will take place the three days the exhibits are open instead of the day before. The technical program includes a dedicated shipwreck track organized by Gregg Stemm and his crew, and the sub- mersibles program from 2005 will return under the lead- ership of Will Kohnen.
