Building on its unique concept and growing global recognition, the 2026 edition is set to deliver its most comprehensive and impactful program to date.<\/span><\/p>\n Over the past editions, Diving Talks has established itself as more than a traditional trade show. It is a dynamic platform where exploration, science, art, and industry converge, bringing together some of the most influential voices in the underwater world. In 2026, the event continues to expand into a broader ecosystem that goes far beyond the three days in Lisbon.<\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s edition will once again be complemented by exclusive experiences, including a pre-show fam trip to the Azores, specifically to the island of Graciosa, and a post-show fam trip to the Lisbon region. In addition, the Diving Talks Naval Base side event\u2014hosted by the Portuguese Navy divers\u2014will offer a unique, invitation-only experience.<\/span><\/p>\n The program will feature a diverse and engaging lineup, including the second edition of Ocean Tales, two full days of talks covering the most relevant topics in diving, the highly anticipated Lightning Talks, discussion panels bringing together leading experts, and the renowned Diving Talks Official Dinner, known for fostering meaningful connections and behind-the-scenes conversations within the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n A key highlight of the event will be the inauguration of the Diving Talks | Underwater Photography Collection exhibition, the largest underwater photography collection in the world, further reinforcing the event\u2019s commitment to showcasing the artistic dimension of the underwater realm. The exhibition will also host school visits, contributing to education and outreach by inspiring younger generations.<\/span><\/p>\n Following an audience-driven challenge from the previous edition, the Future Diver Initiative (FDI) was created to address critical questions about the future of diving. The initiative is currently working across several areas, including defining the \u201cwhy\u201d of diving, identifying industry quick wins, conducting surveys among young divers, and organizing focus groups. The first conclusions of this work will be presented during Diving Talks 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Panel discussions have already been confirmed around key themes such as exploration, conservation, innovation, training, diving physiology, and the next generation of divers, ensuring a forward-looking and thought-provoking program.<\/span><\/p>\n Diving Talks also continues to open its stage to the community through its Lightning Talks format, inviting anyone with a meaningful underwater project, story, or idea to apply and share their work with a global audience.<\/span><\/p>\n Brands from across the diving industry are already confirming their support for the 2026 edition, reinforcing Diving Talks as a key platform for visibility, connection, and thought leadership within the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n Early Bird tickets are now available for a limited time.<\/strong><\/p>\n As the speaker lineup continues to be announced, Diving Talks invites the global diving community to stay tuned for upcoming updates and to join what promises to be an unmissable gathering in Lisbon.<\/span><\/p>\n About Diving Talks<\/strong><\/p>\n Diving Talks is an international diving show held annually in Lisbon, Portugal, since 2021.
