UK2Norway Conference, Stavanger, March 16th-18th, 2009

«Present and future energy market opportunities in Norway»

A unique gateway to business opportunities, face to face meetings with future business partners and new market strategies for the oil, gas and energy supply industry. We matched Norwegian and UK players in a focused B2B environment.

On 17 and 18 March 2009, Oilinfo Arena and the NCC organised the second annual «UK2Norway» conference. The first conference was held in Newcastle, in April 2008, to much appraisal. Opportunities were presented, deals were made, contacts were met, an good times were had. This time, we took it to Stavanger.

In 2009, we put together a program with changing times and new demands in mind. Among our key speakers were high-level representatives from both the Norwegian and UK political and industrial spheres, successful representatives of the supply industry, and matchmaking experts from both sides of the North Sea. Not to mention a vast array of industry players, representatives and possible future business partners.

In addition to a rich, rewarding speaker program, focus was on our well-proven business2business (B2B) model. By offering several key B2B section to partcipate in over the course of two days, companies were able to hand pick meetings with representatives from businesses and disciplines related to your own.
