Offshore Wind Connections is back for 2023 at The Doubletree by Hilton, Hull, a fantastic venue that has proved hugely popular in previous years.
The conference and exhibition has grown in stature to become one of the leading and best known UK offshore wind events, and OWC2023 will be its tenth anniversary year!
It attracts hundreds of regional, national and international delegates, and provides invaluable information and contacts for companies that are well-established in the sector and for those looking to enter or diversify into the market. It is supported by a stellar cast of businesses.

Experts and industry figures including OEMs, government organisations, manufacturers, port operators, vessel owners and operations and maintenance service providers, will discuss the latest developments and provide updates on key projects. Full details will be released over the coming weeks, so please check the website from time to time for updates.
