Scotland’s largest ever Offshore Wind conference will take place in Aberdeen next week bringing together more than 600 of the most influential business leaders in oil and gas, and renewable energy.
Organised by Scottish Renewables and Scottish Enterprise, the two-day event is established as a key highlight in the renewables energy calendar attracting a wide range of influential speakers, exhibitors and delegates representing the developing offshore wind sector.
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond will give the opening address to hundreds of delegates on 31 January.
With some of the most stretching renewable energy targets in Europe and ambitions to generate the equivalent of 100 per cent of annual electricity demand renewables by 2020, Scotland is gearing up to maximise economic potential from offshore wind in the next decade and beyond, with potential for as much as £7 billion of investment and 48,000 jobs.
The conference and networking exhibition will include a mixture of plenary sessions, workshop style discussions, presentations and quick fire updates. It will also provide exhibiting organisations with the chance to update on their own activities in our exhibition showcase.
The Scottish Offshore Wind Conference and Exhibition will take place at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) on Tuesday 31 January and Wednesday 1 February.
