Offshore Wind Journal Conference
25 March 2021
12:00 - 17:00
GMT
Opportunities for vessel owners in a booming industry
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.
Being driven by a global demand for clean and renewable energy, interest in the offshore wind sector shows no sign of abatement and will continue growing for the foreseeable future. The Offshore Wind Journal conference will examine trends and drivers in the sector, regional activity, identifying opportunities for OSV owners and evaluate the latest technology innovations.
