Subsea Rio
is back by popular demand! Subsea Rio was first held in June 2004 and subsequently in June 2005 and was heralded by some as ‘the best oilfield conference they had ever attended!’
Since the last show in 2005 we have had, literally, hundreds of people ask when the next Subsea Rio was going to be! We finally have an answer – September 2009!
As the moniker implies, the emphasis is on Subsea as well as Brazil, however, Subsea Rio is also a conference focused on the world’s subsea stage. As most of us realize Floating Production plays a critical role in developments offshore Brazil and as such Subsea Rio 2009 will also incorporate the “Dry Tree Forum” which will explore not only the “subsea” link, but also the future of all deepwater development offshore Brazil.
Due to its International program, SUBSEA RIO 2009 will gather Operators from North & South America, Europe, Africa and S.E. Asia; with Contractors, Manufacturers and Service Companies represented Worldwide.
Executives, Engineers and other disciplines will be in attendance. This compact and practical conference is specifically designed to offer you the contacts you want to make, while allowing ample opportunity to meet new people and cement existing relationships, in a style and format much the same as the city itself, business-like but easy going and comfortable. Participation is the key; attendees, be they Conference Delegates, Speakers, Exhibitors or Sponsors are encouraged to attend the Receptions, Lunches and Breaks, to maximize networking opportunities possible in a short period of time!
We look forward to seeing you there September 15-17, 2009 at the Sheraton Rio. More details will be available shortly; however, if you are interested in participating at an early stage please feel free to contact us.
