NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS AND ATTENDEES

New Dates! New Location!

Hurricane Ike has resulted in millions of dollars in damage to Galveston. Consequently, Deepwater Operations 2008 has been moved to the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas and will take place November 3-5, 2008. Please note the new dates and location and plan to attend.


As the industry shifts to deeper water, the environment in which we work becomes more complex, hazardous and expensive. Successful companies recognize early the changing conditions and environmental challenges facing the industry. At the Deepwater Operations Conference & Exhibition in 2008, participants and attendees will discuss how to succeed under these extreme conditions.

The seventh Deepwater Operations Conference & Exhibition has moved and will now be held on November 3 – 5, 2008 in Houston, Texas and will be held at the Geroge R. Brown Convention Center.
Plan to attend, sponsor and exhibit at the 2008 conference and exhibition as the technical focus shifts to “Succeeding in a Changing Environment.” As with our past conferences, proceedings will not be published and the press will not be invited to assure confidentiality between the attendees and the speakers allowing the most up–to–date information to be shared.
