To aid the curation of a world-class Conference, it is the intention of the SpillAsia organisers and Committee to initiate a 'Call for Papers' process, shortly.
The process will invite the submission of short 250-word abstracts for presentation consideration. Interested parties will be asked to consider priority themes of importance for their abstracts. More information on this process will be available right here, soon.
In the meantime, you can register your interest in speaking at SpillAsia 2026; please click here to email Event Director Tom Treverton, who will then ensure you are notified when the 'Call for Papers' process goes live.

Government, Regional, National and International Authorities, Industry and Academia all strive for excellence and continual improvement in spill preparedness and response. They do so within the context of an evolving energy mix, with many emergent fuel technologies now being introduced as regulators, companies and manufacturers seek to reduce emissions.
Vessels are increasing in size, changing propulsion fuels and becoming more automated in operation. The oceans are increasingly busy, but their health is declining and pollutants (including debris and plastic) threaten the biodiversity within and upon which we rely.
Oil production is focused on mature basins, often with ageing infrastructure or in frontier regions, pushing the bounds of technology (both of which pose spill risk challenges). Climate change has brought unstable weather patterns that are often extreme and damaging.
Against this backdrop, SpillAsia will be 2026's premier face-to-face forum to discuss these issues and showcase research and innovative solutions that can improve global readiness and demonstrate why spill preparedness remains highly relevant and adds true value to all who invest in it and use the oceans sustainably.
The 'Call for Papers' process will invite short 250-word abstracts for presentation consideration. Interested parties will be asked to consider priority themes of importance, which are likley to include:
