speaker
The top leaders of the offshore industry in one place
Like every year, we asked ourselves, is there anything more? In fact, there are two points that are close to our hearts: less CO₂ – more time for networking.
Industry meeting place for the offshore wind industry since 2012
In-depth presentations and panel discussions will be held in a small setting of max. 130 C-level representatives from business, science and politics were held, providing important impetus for the further development of the offshore wind industry.
In addition, a small setting enables effective networking and collaboration between participants, which also helps to promote partnerships and business development.
venue
Nordseehalle
This year’s conference will be held in the Nordseehalle on Helgoland, the venue that many long-time WFO guests already know from 2020. This venue is located directly on the North Sea. The Nordseehalle not only offers sufficient space for all participants, but also a special atmosphere that is ideal for productive discussions and the exchange of ideas.
Evening location
MS Helgoland
The environmentally friendly LNG ship MS “Helgoland” sails the route between Cuxhaven and Helgoland all year round.
This year the MS “Helgoland” will be the place where we will spend our evening. Weather permitting, we will also make a short detour to the Meerwind wind farm.
