2025 Maritime Risk Symposium
May 13
The 2025 Maritime Risk Symposium (MRS) provides a vital platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and informed discussion on the evolving risks and opportunities in the Arctic maritime domain. This year’s symposium will take place as a virtual event on May 13, 2025, with limited in-person attendance at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska. Bringing together key stakeholders—including maritime industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and international Arctic allies—MRS 2025 aims to foster dialogue on the strategic, economic, and environmental complexities shaping the Arctic’s future.
To further enhance participants’ understanding of the region, an optional Arctic Fundamentals Seminar will be offered on May 12 (8 am -12 pm AKDT), providing critical insights into Arctic governance, security dynamics, history, and international frameworks. Through these discussions, MRS 2025 will support informed decision-making and collaborative approaches to addressing the pressing maritime risks and opportunities in the Arctic.
