About This Event

**ReFi Horizons: World Ocean Week Edition – Cozumel**

Join us in Cozumel, Mexico, for **ReFi Horizons: World Ocean Week Edition**, a four-day gathering taking place June 5-8, 2026, in celebration of World Ocean Week.

Set within the heart of the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest barrier reef system in the world, this unique experience brings together ocean advocates, scientists, conservationists, regenerative innovators, community leaders, artists, and citizens who care deeply about the future of our oceans.

More than a conference, ReFi Horizons is a platform for learning, collaboration, and action. Through immersive experiences both above and below the waterline, participants will explore the challenges facing coastal communities and discover regenerative solutions that can help restore ocean health while strengthening local economies.

Yet, like many coastal destinations, it faces growing environmental pressures, including coral degradation, climate change impacts, plastic pollution, and increasing tourism demands.
