OSEA2014: Open sea for networking opportunities

Since its inception in 1976, OSEA has built a sturdy reputation as a networking arena of choice in Asia, providing participants with a multitude of engagements, from serious discussions to relaxed gatherings across four vivacious show days. In addition, they also get to preview a wide showcase of new and improved backend and field products and technologies, and gain access to interactive conference sessions that bring further opportunities for interaction and knowledge exchange with industry experts and peers on latest trends, challenges and opportunities surrounding the oil and gas landscape in Asia and beyond.

“We are looking at a possible energy crunch in the foreseeable future, given the fast-rising global consumption of oil and gas. Consequently, the need to stay abreast of industry shifts and technological advancements has never been more important,” says Mr. Chua Buck Cheng, Project Director of Engineering Events at Singapore Exhibition Services.

“We have designed OSEA to exactly pinpoint these trends and provide the industry with what’s needed in order to advance, and face the oncoming challenges.”

With three months to its opening day, OSEA2014 has already witnessed a 20 percent growth in the participation of international exhibitors compared to its previous edition in 2012 and the event continues to expand its exhibition space to cater to industry’s demands. This year, 16 international group pavilions will be present, including three new groups from Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
