“We are delighted that OI still boasts such great support and engagement from the global industry and immensely proud it is coming together en masse to make this the biggest event in OI’s history,” says Event Director, Jonathan Heastie of Reed Exhibitions. “Over 8,000m2 has already been sold to 326 exhibiting companies from 32 countries. It is always good news when returning exhibitors take more space and this has been the case with over a hundred exhibiting companies. And, we are delighted to welcome 59 new exhibiting companies. No doubt when the names of companies sharing booked stands start to emerge we will find there are even more suppliers dipping their toes into the OI ‘water’ for the first time.
“We welcome Fugro, Teledyne, Keller and IXBlue as sponsors of key elements of next spring’s show, which is held in partnership with The Society for Underwater Technology, and with the Hydrographic Society UK, IMarEST, IMCA, the Marine Technology Society, and the Society of Maritime Industries as endorsing organizations.”
Vessels and dock side demonstrations of equipment will once again be a popular feature. In 2014 vessel movements proved a record-breaker with 148 movements during the three days with 1198 people aboard and a record number of 13 visiting vessels.
