The Conference
Offshore Exhibition 2026 Conference program is coming soon.
Program 2026 – All together now
The content program of the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2026 highlights the key developments shaping today’s offshore energy landscape. Reflecting OEEC’s multi-market scope, the sessions provide valuable insights by connecting market trends with in-depth perspectives on technological, economic, and strategic developments across the sector.
In an increasingly complex and turbulent geopolitical environment, what does the future of offshore energy look like? This edition will focus on Oil & Gas and Offshore Wind, exploring how both sectors can contribute to securing a stable, sustainable, and affordable energy supply.
System integration — or, more broadly, whole-system thinking — will serve as a central theme throughout the conference program. By bringing together expertise from the offshore oil & gas and offshore wind industries, OEEC 2026 aims to foster collaboration, accelerate innovation, and explore integrated solutions for the energy systems of the future.
The program will have a strong North Sea focus. Specific topics include floating wind, nature enhancement, seabed security, CCS, digitalisation, and young professionals.

Powered by Ecowende
Earlier this year, Van Oord, GBM Works, CAPE Holland and Ecowende successfully installed monopile foundations at commercial scale using GBM Works’ VibroJet solution in combination with CAPE’s Vibro Lifting Tool — reducing underwater noise and minimising the impact on marine life at the Ecowende wind farm.
But how do you measure success? At OEEC 2026, we’ll take you behind the innovation: how the technology works, how WaterProof measured and monitored underwater sound, what we learned from installing in the dense sands of the Dutch North Sea, and how the results help validate underwater sound models and support the global adoption of quieter, more responsible offshore installation methods.

This session will explore how the UK and the Netherlands can strengthen cross-border collaboration to turn the North Sea’s CCS potential into practical delivery. With a particular focus on supply chains, the discussion will consider how sustained project pipelines, aligned standards and technical specifications, and better coordination between governments and industry can support investment in the skills, infrastructure and specialist capabilities needed to deliver CCS at scale. Participants will also examine how existing offshore energy expertise can be retained and transferred, helping to create an interconnected CCS market that reinforces energy security and industrial competitiveness in both countries.
12:15 – 13:15
How can nature be effectively integrated into offshore wind projects at every stage of development? This session brings together experts working on some of the latest European initiatives, from translating oyster restoration science into practical guidance for offshore projects, to developing nature-inclusive tender criteria that provide greater certainty for developers, and exploring ecological considerations for decommissioning decisions. Attendees will gain insight into the tools, knowledge and policies needed to make nature a core component of offshore wind development.

How can countries, industries and governments work together to connect the North Sea and accelerate the energy transition? This plenary session explores how to bridge the gaps between sectors, borders, knowledge development and decision making. The public-private North Sea Energy knowledge program will be introduced, followed by a panel discussion including policy makers, sector representation and the voice of youth. What is needed to move from offshore energy projects to basin scale solutions and system integration?

Securing energy, Sustaining the future
The global geopolitical chessboard is shifting rapidly—posing urgent questions for Europe’s offshore energy system. With the energy trilemma front and center—sustainability, security, and affordability—the challenge lies in balancing immediate needs with future ambitions. System integration in the North Sea is critical, but how can we make future-proof decisions while managing today’s pressing demands?
