Countdown begins: Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2023 opens in one week

Industry giants, experts, policymakers, innovators and start-ups from the offshore energy sector will meet at the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2023 (OEEC 2023) in Amsterdam one week from now. The backdrop to two full days of discussions, insights and updates is the exhibition floor that will be home to companies and technologies that push the envelope in the offshore energy arena.

The ins and outs of the energy sector will be in focus as the industry behemoths such as BP, TotalEnergies, Shell, Vattenfall, and Orsted come together in a dynamic array of conference sessions on November 28 and 29 in RAI Amsterdam.

From current bottlenecks in the offshore wind industry, decarbonizing oil and gas assets, nature-inclusive project designs, hydrogen production and system integration to raw material sourcing – the conference is expected to tackle the most important questions in the sector today. 

This year, the Hydrogen Area will once again put the spotlight on this rising industry as the Innovators’ Dock promotes groundbreaking ideas and The Stage becomes the platform for lively discussions, all poised to shape the trajectory of tomorrow’s energy landscape.

Here’s the gist of what awaits OEEC participants and visitors next week:

At the heart of OEEC lies the conference where the offshore energy industry can come for a dose of captivating discussions, market (and policy) updates, and insights shared by industry trailblazers and knowledge experts. With an array of sessions encompassing a set of the most important topics, attendees can delve deep into the core of industry trends and emerging plans.

This year’s lineup includes speakers from BP, TotalEnergies, Neptune Energy, Deloitte, DMEC, Deme Offshore, Vattenfall, Orsted, RWE, IRO, Damen, Shell, Government of the Netherlands, Liebherr, Gusto MSC, TrustLube, TenneT, Huisman, Rystad Energy and many other industry players.

The Innovators’ Dock, located in Hall 2 and including stands 2.100, 2.101 A, 2.102, 2.103, and 2.104, is where startups, scale-ups, and knowledge institutes will showcase and discuss groundbreaking innovations, painting a picture of what we could see next in the energy sector.
