In her seminars MeteoMarine they teach ONLY professional meteorologists with studies in the physics or mathematics department and postgraduate studies in recognized postgraduate meteorology programs.

The main speaker of the seminars is Dr. Nikos Mazarakis, who began his professional career as a meteorologist in 2000, after completing his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at Physics department of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, while in 2010 he was awarded a doctorate in meteorology from the Department of Physics of the University of Patras.

From October 2004 to May 2016, he collaborated with the popular website www.meteo.gr, which belongs to National Observatory of Athens, as the operational manager of the WAM wave model and the EUMETSAT satellite image processing programs.
