OFFSHORE WIND CONNECTIONS 2023

Presented by Humber Marine and Renewables

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.

OWC’s 10th anniversary sees greater involvement from the Humber Offshore Wind Cluster, which will ensure highly relevant content and speakers to help support innovation, the supply chain and skills development.

The two-day event commences on the evening of May 3 with opening speeches from high profile guest speakers and the customary and enjoyable RenewableUK Connect event.

May 4 will continue with speakers, presentations and networking. 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.

Why get involved?

With the Humber’s freeport status and significant new investments announced over the last 12 months, OWC2023 will see many of the key players and supply chain companies getting together to reflect on the ten year journey so far and to discuss the opportunities for the next few years.

  • High profile event which attracts regional, national and international delegates
  • Auditorium specifically for exhibitors and networking
