In a four-decade long career that has spanned the seven seas, Jim has worked as a museum director, educator, television host, author and in government. Currently Director of Maritime Heritage for NOAA's Office of  National Marine Sanctuaries, Jim has a PhD in Archaeology from Simon Fraser University. He has participated in and led archaeological expeditions to some of history's most famous shipwrecks, including Titanic, USS Arizona, and Kublai Khan's lost armada of 1284, and ships dating from the ancient world to the dawn of the nuclear age. Jim's passionate focus is making archaeology and exploration relevant and exciting, and he recently helped organize and expedition to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico for the first round-the-clock, interactive 24/7 web broadcast of shipwreck discovery, mapping and excavation that reached a global audience.

James Delgado, Archaeology & Exploration (EG9)

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
