GCC

The conversations. The ideas. The connections.

The 2026 GCC Innovation Conference is officially in the books, and what an incredible two days it was.

We had the opportunity to bring together engineers, OEMs, technology partners, and industry leaders from across the Pacific Northwest to discuss the trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of our industry.

A huge thank you to our keynote speakers, Dr. David Bourg from Mino Marine, Adam Johnson from Elevat, and Julie Scotland from Gravi.Ai, for sharing their expertise and sparking conversations around AI, engineering innovation, machine monitoring, and connected technologies.

Thank you to our sponsors and exhibitors for helping create an event filled with valuable technical insights, hands-on discussions, and real-world solutions.

And most importantly, thank you to every attendee who took time away from their busy schedules to join us. Your engagement, questions, and willingness to share ideas are what make this event so impactful.

The best part of events like this isn't what's presented on stage, it's the conversations that happen afterward. The new ideas, partnerships, and solutions that continue long after the conference ends.
