Renewable UK Commits To Three Year Floating Offshore Wind Deal At P&J Live
RenewableUK, the UK's leading not-for-profit renewable energy trade association, and Scottish Renewables have today announced a three-year deal to host its second largest annual event, Floating Offshore Wind, at Northeast Scotland’s live events venue, P&J Live in Aberdeen in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Floating Offshore Wind, which has been hosted at the venue five times previously, is a meeting place for all current and future players in the global floating wind industry. With attendees from 29 countries, 183 exhibitors, 200+ speakers and a 52% increase in delegate numbers, 2023 was a record-breaking show which the organisers hope to surpass during this year’s event on 9th and 10th October.
P&J Live’s Head of Association Sales, Steven Daun said: “We have been working with RenewableUK for some time now, and year-on-year we have seen this conference and exhibition grow to become a cornerstone of the renewables industry calendar.
“The ambition is to create the world's leading floating offshore wind event, relevant since the UK is world-leading in this technology, and the city holds legacy as the energy capital of Europe with excellent supply chain – the perfect platform to showcase UK, Scottish and local businesses. P&J Live is the ideal venue to cater for their ever-growing needs, employing its flexible nature to Floating Offshore Wind’s event spaces and adapting accordingly to accommodate the client’s requirements.”
Garth Halliday, COO from RenewableUK said: “The event is designed to speed scaling up of floating offshore wind to create vast amounts of cheap, renewable energy to benefit UK billpayers and reach Net Zero targets.
“Currently pivotal in facilitating and pushing legislation forward, the conference aspires to be the meeting place for the entire industry, to join and share best practise, discuss operational efficiencies, lessons learned, workshop technical challenges and showcase best innovations which drive FOW down the cost curve.
“Naturally, we needed a venue that could be relied upon to deliver a high-quality event that meets the needs of our attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors, and aligns well with our sustainability values, while accommodating our growth ambitions. The team at P&J Live are just as dedicated to this event as we are, and so we are pleased to show our commitment to the venue over the next three years.”
Laura Wilson, Head of Aberdeen Convention Bureau, said: “Welcoming Renewable UK’s Floating Offshore Wind Conference and Exhibition to Aberdeen allows the region to promote its leadership and expertise in offshore wind energy to a global audience. The event itself is expected to deliver approx. £823,000 of direct spend by delegates and organisers per conference, supporting hotels and the wider hospitality supply chain across the region. We are delighted to welcome this event back to Aberdeen in 2024, 2025, and 2026.”
