Trauthwein Associate Publisher & Editor Email: trauthwein@marinelink.com For those of you unable to make it up to beautiful St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, for Oceans 2014, you missed a strong event. The region?s signature hospitality was on full display (ie. Kraken?s hospitality night at the picturesque Quidi Vidi Brewery was as memorable as these types of events get) and the weather was cooperative. Beyond good food and good friends, St. Johns was a strong draw for the subsea industry elite, on hand once again for a few days packed with technical discussion and business dealings. Full details on the St. Johns cluster of companies serving this subsea industry is coming in the November/December edition of Marine Technology Reporter .While the visit to St. Johns and Oceans was only a few weeks ago, it seems much further in the rearview mirror, as it was a part of a busy travel swing which had me out of my New York of ce for three out of four weeks. While it is important for me to get back to my desk to do my ?day job,? I always take a busy travel schedule as a good sign and business indicator. As I get this edition out the door I look forward very much to my next stop in just a few weeks to sunny San Diego for the 6th Annual Blue Tech & Blue Economy Summit, scheduled for November 12-13, 2014 at the McMillin Companies Event Center in San Diego. If you don?t know much about this meeting, or in fact much about the San Diego cluster of companies and organizations which all depend on the ocean for their livelihood, I invite you to turn to page 38 of this edition as our contributing editor Edward Lundquist lls 16 pages with overview of the San Diego Blue Tech economic engine, highlighting the people, the companies and the technologies that fuel the future. While there are many world regions that justi ably call themselves ?tech clusters,? I think you will nd that San Diego, under the guidance of The Maritime Alliance, has kicked it up a notch in breadth and depth.
