Landing Events

Oceantic Network has secured a discounted room block at the Newport Marriott Hotel & Spa, the official headquarters hotel for 2027 IPF.

Located on Newport Harbor and just steps from downtown restaurants, shops, and waterfront attractions, the Newport Marriott will serve as the hub for networking, meetings, and conference activities throughout the week.

Rooms are available at the special IPF group rate while inventory lasts. We encourage attendees to reserve early, as Newport hotels typically sell out well in advance.

From Sunday, April 11 through Wednesday, April 14, IPF will bring together developers, suppliers, policymakers, researchers, workforce leaders, and innovators for four days of education, networking, business development, and industry collaboration.

Oceantic Network is proud to offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) at IPF for the first time. As part of our newly earned IACET accreditation (2025), we are piloting CEUs with two select workshops this year. These sessions underwent a rigorous review to ensure they meet the high standards required for CEU eligibility, including clear learning outcomes, qualified instruction, and strong assessment methods. 

This pilot allows us to closely monitor quality, streamline processes, and ensure a smooth experience for participants and instructors alike. We look forward to expanding CEU-eligible offerings at future IPF events and throughout our Education & Training programs.
