Sage Gateshead set to host national NOF Energy conference

Energy: A Balanced Future, the National Conference organised by NOF Energy, the business development organisation for the oil, gas, nuclear, offshore and renewables sectors has quickly established itself as one of the most talked about events on the energy calendar.

Taking place at the Sage Gateshead, 10 and 11 March 2015, professionals from the UK and international energy industry will head to North East England to discuss the future of the energy sectors.

The event includes an exhibition showcase area, where 70 energy-related companies will be on-hand to discuss their business along with products and services.

The UK has long been associated with innovative technologies and solutions for the global energy sector. The exhibition has trebled in size from previous years and will provide an excellent area for meeting new customers, clients and to network.

The event, supported by platinum sponsors Invest North East England and gold sponsors, Draeger, Teesside University and Arefco Special Products, addresses the need for a balanced energy mix and covers oil, gas, nuclear, offshore renewables, shale gas and for the first time in 2015, future energies.

Among the top names attending will be safety specialist Dräger, which offers a wide range of holistic safety solutions for the oil and gas, marine and offshore sectors, and is showcasing its latest campaign – ‘Your Safety is Our Passion.’

Business Development Manager at NOF Energy, Caroline Lofthouse, said: “Energy: A Balanced Future was always going to be a key event, but to have attracted so much interest this early on is very encouraging.

“It shows the appetite for dialogue as some of the top names including BP, Technip, DONG Energy, Petrobras, Dana Petroleum, Wood Group PSN and GE Oil & Gas in the industry come together to discuss the latest developments and find ways they can work together to build an energy-focussed future.”

General Manager of Dräger Marine & Offshore UK, Phil Saxton, said: “Our passion for safety in the oil and gas industry can be seen in everything we do and we’re very proud to be aligned with this event – one of the highlights of the 2015 calendar.

“Dräger has been pioneering safety solutions for the industry for many years and for us, it’s all about attention to technical detail, quality and products that continue to protect our customer’s every day, everywhere.”
