Offshore Support Journal Subsea Conference
24 March 2021
14:00 - 18:00
GMT
Reshaping the business for a changing seascape
Following a hugely successful webinar week series and the launch of our virtual conferences in 2020, Riviera’s conference programme remains online in 2021 allowing our global communities to continue to connect, network and gather knowledge whilst remaining safe until our live conference programme returns. Networking is a key element of our virtual conferences with ample opportunity to arrange your meetings, keep on top of your daily routine, and still have some personal time.
Planning is underway in earnest for what promises to be a sensational live Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, Exhibition & Awards in mid-November 2021. We are excited to have the opportunity to once again bring the offshore community together, and we are grateful for the continuing support of our loyal sponsors.
As a lead in to OSJ 2021 Week, we have planned three days of virtual conferences, 23-25 March, to provide insight and analysis for the Dynamic Positioning, Subsea, Offshore Wind and OSV sectors.
At the start of 2020 the subsea sector saw some promising signs of recovery then Covid-19 hit! The last 12 months have been challenging but this dynamic industry is reshaping to meet demands of a changing sector. This year’s agenda will examine where the opportunities lie for subsea vessel utilisation, including the IMR and offshore wind markets. OSJ Subsea will keep you informed and updated on industry developments and key trends and drivers across the sector.
