egistration for the 7th Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference has opened. On 28th and 29th October 2014 Amsterdam will again become

With visitors from more than 60 different countries and demonstrable steady growth since its foundation in 2008, Offshore Energy is a must attend event for all professionals in the international offshore sector.
