It's been a huge year for offshore wind in Australia with over a dozen offshore wind Feasibility Licences announced and five zones now declared. The industry has moved apace and timing perfect for a large gathering to discuss, celebrate and plan the huge amount of work ahead.
With that in mind, and with only 8 weeks to go until the Offshore Wind Australia Conference in Sydney on 20-21 November 2024 at the Kimpton Margot Hotel, Sydney, I am delighted to announce The Hon. Matt Kean (Chair, Climate Change Authority and former Treasurer and Energy Minister of NSW) as our keynote speaker for the Conference Dinner, with Hamish Macdonald (The Project, ABC and man of note) again, as our Master of Ceremonies.
We are also pleased to welcome a few new additions to our Conference agenda including 'TechPitch', highlighting new technologies to advance offshore wind and related industries, and a few new social initiatives including 'WalkChella' (for wellness, not just to recover) and WineChella (OK, mainly to socialise). All are included in the attached agenda with all speakers to be confirmed in a few weeks (all speaking slots are taken, just finalising details).
Note also, that the Conference also includes a ticket to the Women of Offshore Wind Cocktail Party on 20 November 2024 to open the conference, so no need to buy separately. For those wanting to just attend the WOW Cocktail Party, please go to the WOW website, https://lnkd.in/gQx-GZPP, to buy tickets.
The early agenda is attached to give an outline of proceedings for planning purposes. We have sold 70% of tickets, so best get in quickly to secure yours now. Tickets available at https://lnkd.in/fzsZEwn.
For those who have not seen Planet Wind, or would like to see it again, details will be released in the next few weeks for a screening on 19 November 2024 at Event Cinemas in Sydney. This will be a free screening but best to get in quick when details released.
