Beneath the surface lies more than technology: hidden infrastructure, untold stories, emerging threats and new discoveries. SID 2026 brings together people and technologies operating where few ever get to look.
What lies beneath
Join us for a day of exploration above and below the surface, where industry experts, innovators and end users share insights from some of the most challenging and fascinating environments on earth. From the depths of the Atlantic and the wreck of U-864, to the digital threats facing critical infrastructure, quantum sensing technologies and the ongoing mapping of the Titanic, this year’s programme explores what happens when curiosity, technology and expertise meet.
Most importantly, SID is about bringing people together. To learn, challenge assumptions, share experiences and perhaps leave with a few new ideas, a few new contacts and a different perspective on what lies beneath.
