OFFSHORE ENERGY EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE 2020
THE OFFSHORE ENERGY EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE (OEEC) IS EUROPE’S LEADING EVENT FOR THE ENTIRE OFFSHORE ENERGY INDUSTRY. THIS YEAR, OEEC SPORTS A MODIFIED SETUP: PARTLY DIGITAL, PARTLY ON LOCATION. JOIN THIS virtual gathering of the entire offshore energy industry and take the opportunity to network with highly-qualified experts and professionals across global markets.
Ahost will welcome participants in the digital Offshore Energy Environment. From there, visitors can join round-table sessions and one-on-one matchmaking events, watch the live talk shows and meet exhibitors online. Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2020 offers you two days of networking opportunities, broadening your horizon within the industry, and shaping the future of energy, together.
Virtual event Due to the current developments concerning COVID-19, OEEC’s organiser Navingo has had to adapt to a changing reality in order to realise a full-value OEEC, as well as an effective Navingo Career Event. Both events will therefore continue on 27 and 28 October 2020 in a digitally enhanced format, where networking, sharing knowledge, and visibility will continue to take the centre stage. The modified format is corona-proof and a combination between an easy-to-navigate virtual environment and activities in RAI Amsterdam. “We opted for a modified set-up that is partly digital, partly on location,” says Coert van Zijll Langhout, Managing Director of Navingo. “For a long time, and due to a wide range of measures and stakeholder consultation, maintaining the original formats was realistic. The latest developments now force us to change course, which is precisely what we have done.” Round-table sessions, showcases and oneon-one conversations: everything is possible, sometimes even better than before. “We have the right tools to effectively bring our exhibitors to the attention of their target groups. Our team has been working day and night to achieve the goals of our customers and visitors to connect, generate leads, get new ideas, and fill vacancies.”
Live broadcast OEEC will be recorded and broadcasted live from RAI Amsterdam. The event can also be partly visited on site. Networking and visibility will be addressed by matchmaking, digital round tables, and showcases that support interaction. Talk shows and industry insights with thought leaders are part of the programme as usual. Navingo has been creating connections in the offshore energy and maritime industry for nearly two decades and has grown a large online community in doing so. Both offshore-energy.biz and navingocareer.com have a wide international reach. Combining a large, real-time online set-up with inperson activities in RAI Amsterdam provides Navingo with the capacity required to reach its community of 700,000 monthly users, 630,000 social media followers, and 130,000 newsletter subscribers. Another new concept is the virtual booth. By creating branded stands where the exhibitor and visitor can virtually meet via video conferencing, Navingo will provide international exhibitors with exposure that allows them to participate without having to be physically present. “These concepts will connect the event floor with the digital environment of Navingo Career and the recently launched Offshore Energy platform. We can then service our customers and global audience, regardless of their location,” explains Anne Visser, Director of Operations at Navingo. “We see these times as an accelerator for innovative initiatives. These new concepts will be an added value for our customers and clients, as they fulfil our main goals of connecting the offshore and maritime industry.”
