Exhibition Ticker - EWEA OFFSHORE 2013 - More than just an event!

The event grew quickly to become the undisputed meeting place for the whole of the supply chain — a focus not only for doing business but also for networking, knowledge exchange, technological innovation and political debate.

Bigger and better than ever:
Even larger than the previous event, the exhibition halls will feature the big players in offshore wind, as well as the myriad of component suppliers, logistics companies and equipment providers that make up the supply chain. With  over 95% of the exhibition space selling out six months in advance, the popularity of this event continues to grow. “The demand for exhibition space that we have received has been quite overwhelming.

Strong interest from international as well as German companies has shown that EWEA OFFSHORE 2013 remains the main event for the offshore wind-energy industry in Europe and beyond,” says Anja Wimmer, head of events at EWEA. “It is for this reason that we have rearranged the existing floor space to give other companies the opportunity to exhibit.”

An international showcase:
EWEA OFFSHORE has always attracted many international exhibitors and attendees. The 2013 edition is no  exception. Taking place in Frankfurt — mainland Europe’s biggest financial capital — this international business location is easily accessible from cities all around the world. The exhibition halls will house the industry’s best-known
international players and an array of national pavilions: the Netherlands, France, Scotland, Norway, Denmark, the  Basque Country, Germany and the UK.

Networking events:
Both the conference and exhibition provide numerous opportunities for attendees to meet with their peers and make new contacts. Attendees will be able to choose from a host of networking events onsite, including numerous stand parties, a lively opening reception, a glamorous conference dinner, a poster reception and career day with  matchmaking meetings. Ahead of the event, an online system will be available to schedule meetings between visiting  professionals and exhibiting companies. Attendees can use it to facilitate the creation of international partnerships or for the acquisition of new customers, suppliers or trading partners.
