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. ## What OEEC is for 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. ## Who attends - Offshore wind developers and their EPC contractors - Oil and gas operators and offshore services companies - Vessel owners, subsea and installation contractors - Port authorities and infrastructure operators - Hydrogen and carbon storage project developers - Government and regulatory bodies from North Sea states ## What the conference covers 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. ## How it fits the European calendar 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. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### Is OEEC an offshore wind event? 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. ### Who organises it? 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. ### Is it a Dutch or a European event? 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. ## The venue: RAI Amsterdam 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. --- ## Editorial take *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.* ## How to register and what it costs 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. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### When and where does the 2026 edition take place? 24 and 25 November 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, Europaplein 24, Amsterdam, Netherlands. ### How large is the exhibition? Third-party listings put the show at over 500 exhibitors and around 12,000 attendees; the organiser had not published audited figures for 2026 at the verification date. ### What language is the programme in? English, with a predominantly Dutch, Nordic, German and British audience. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://oeec.biz/ | | 2026 edition | https://oeec.biz/oeec2026/ | | Organiser | https://www.navingo.com/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-07-29 **Next review:** 2026-10-15 **Notes:** Exhibitor and attendance figures come from third-party show listings, not from an organiser closing report, and are indicative only. **Variables:** 38/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable
