Following some really helpful feedback from delegates and exhibitors this year, we are excited to introduce for OWNE 2026 a new one-day conference format, designed to deliver maximum impact in less time. This year it will take place on Thursday 12th November, running from 7.45 through to 15.15 and be jam packed from start to finish.
Our 2026 event which is again being held at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland, will feature two presentation theatres (main stage and supply chain theatre), a large exhibition area, networking tables, and dedicated one-to-one meetings with our industry buyers and VIPs.
Plus, the evening before on Wednesday 11th November from 16.30-19.30 we are bringing “Offshore Wind Drinks” to Sunderland, a format we know works across industry which everyone really enjoys, this will be held in the City Centre (watch this space).
As always NOF and Energi Coast will strive to deliver meaningful engagement before, during, and after the event, keeping the offshore wind momentum in North East England alive.
Offshore Wind in the UK
Offshore Wind is one of the most positive and resilient sectors, we have been doing this for 25 years now. The UK has a very experienced Offshore Wind sector so our move into Floating Wind will be a lot easier compared to other markets who are brand new to the industry plus we have our existing deepwater experience from decades of offshore oil and gas.
