Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference was held in 2007. “A combination of factors has made this happen,” says Mike Porter, Riviera Maritime Media’s events director: “a high quality conference programme, the value we put on networking opportunities and, of course, the people who attend: delegates, speakers and chairmen. “The event effectively sold out in 2011 and we had to move this year’s conference to a bigger venue in London to accommodate the increasing demand from people, companies and others wanting to take part. The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference is now recognised as the global offshore support industry get-together of the year. Six conferences have proved that, and show that this popularity is growing steadily. “Moving to the Lancaster Hotel in 2012 was a great success: delegate capacity was
filled, and the exhibition
was oversubscribed, even though we could accommodate twice as many exhibitors as
even bigger and better D
elegate and exhibitor numbers have grown each year
since the first
the previous year,” Mike says. Riviera
constantly reviews the event,
and feedback from attendees this year gave it – and its new home – a big ‘thumbs up’. “The Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference might as well win a ‘conference of the year’ award!” said Inga Scholz, general manager, Guido Perla & Associates. Chris Williams, commercial director, Graig Offshore,
thought the event was “one of the most professionally run shipping conferences I have attended, the hotel staff were first class˝.

“The new venue allows us to take the event to the next level in 2013,” Mike Porter says. “It will be even bigger, and we expect to be welcoming up to 500 delegates and 50 exhibitors”. But the conference will retain the features that have made it so popular. “We
recognise the importance of
sticking to a winning formula while also introducing initiatives such as conference streams and the Annual Offshore Support Journal Awards. “We
market wants. Even though the conference continues to grow to satisfy demand, we recognise the need to retain the original principles, established when the event was first launched, offering the right balance of information
gathering, networking and 2011 2012
bringing together industry stakeholders to discuss business opportunities”. The seventh Annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, in 2013, will be able to accommodate up to 50 exhibitors. Sales of these spaces has already started. “To avoid disappointment, I urge you to reserve a
