Two days at RAI Amsterdam covering every offshore energy market at once: offshore wind, oil and gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, maritime innovation and nature enhancement.
The Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference, usually shortened to OEEC, is the annual Dutch offshore energy event held at RAI Amsterdam and organised by Navingo, the Dutch maritime and offshore media group. The 2026 edition runs on 24 and 25 November under the theme "Securing Energy, Sustaining the Future". The organiser positions it as the only European exhibition covering all offshore markets in one place: offshore wind, oil and gas, maritime, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and marine nature enhancement.
The offshore supply chain does not divide the way the energy debate does. The same vessels, cable layers, subsea contractors, welders, survey companies and port facilities serve offshore wind farms and oil platforms. OEEC is organised around that fact. A developer looking for installation capacity, a port authority planning quayside investment and a contractor deciding which market to bid into all need the same room. The Dutch and North Sea centre of gravity makes it the natural meeting point for that supply chain.
The conference programme runs alongside the floor and covers clean technology, circularity, marine energy, offshore solar, and security. Security has grown into a distinct thread since attacks and interference with subsea cables and pipelines moved offshore infrastructure protection onto the industry agenda, and it is one of the subjects where OEEC's mixed audience of energy, maritime and government participants gives it an advantage over single-sector events.
OEEC sits two weeks after Enlit Europe and closes the autumn energy sequence. The two do not compete: Enlit is about grids, utilities and the onshore power system, OEEC about what happens at sea and at the quayside. For offshore wind specifically, the larger dedicated events are WindEurope's annual gathering in spring and the offshore-focused editions that follow it; OEEC's distinguishing feature remains cross-market coverage rather than depth in any single one.
Partly. Offshore wind is one of several markets covered, alongside oil and gas, maritime, hydrogen and carbon storage. A wind-only audience is better served by WindEurope's own events.
Navingo, the Dutch group behind the Offshore Energy media titles, which gives the event a strong link to the Dutch and North Sea offshore community.
Dutch-anchored and North Sea in reach. The exhibitor and visitor base is concentrated in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom.
RAI Amsterdam is the city's main exhibition and convention centre in the Zuid district, connected by metro and direct rail from Schiphol, which supports a two-day format built on day visits.
The North Sea's working meeting, where offshore wind developers and oil and gas contractors discover they are hiring the same vessels and the same welders.
Visitor registration opens on the official website ahead of the event. Past editions have offered free entry to registered trade visitors, with paid options for parts of the conference programme. Exhibitor packages are quoted by Navingo, with stand presale opening to previous exhibitors before general availability.
