One Week to go for Ocean Business

In a week time, the event Ocean Business is on its way, starting off 5th to 7th April in the National Oceanographic Centre, Southampton. The event includes an exhibition which doubled in size compared to last edition in 2009, the Offshore Survey conference and Ocean Careers, aiming for young professionals. During the days visitors can learn the new developments in the show, in training sessions, and during demonstrations in a tank and with vessels, in the Southampton harbour area.

 

 

The key words of the events are ‘hands on’ and that made the show a success. Seeing, feeling, learning and experiencing are important to be able to make a decision. Ocean Business facilitates this need of the market in a compact area. A total of over 170 hours of demos is planned wih various vessels operating on the water. Participation to the demos and workshops often requires booking on the stand of the exhibitors.

Parallel to Ocean Business, the Ocean Careers 2011 aims to make students aware of the nautical professions to make their future. Speed sessions, industry presentations and one-to-one sessions facilitate getting familiar with the ocean professions and the career opportunities.

 

The popular Offshore Survey Conference will be held alongside Ocean Business, also in 2011. This two-day event runs from the 6th – 7th April 2011 and historically attracts delegates from all around the world who wish to be part of an interesting programme of technical presentations from many of the world’s leading technology and services companies in the field of hydrographic survey and data management. More information is available on the Ocean Business website.

 

There also are many social events, such as the welcome drink on Monday evening in the Pitcher & Piano from 18.00, the Ocean Business Wine Trail on Tuesday from 17.00 to 19.00 in the show and the gala dinner in the Southampton Guildhall on Wednesday from 19.00.
