Jeff Gardner and Hallie Graves attended the International Partnering Forum (IPF) 2021 offshore wind conference held in Richmond VA at the Marriott Hotel and Convention Center.  The event is hosted by the Business Network for Offshore Wind and is one of the largest conferences for the industry. This was the first one back in-person, so it was exciting to see everyone, despite trying to wear masks and social distance. It was better than remote!  Always worthwhile having time to chat with fellow industry movers and shakers, both long time collaborators as well as new faces. Looking forward to the next one!

Geo SubSea is proud to announce Jeff Gardner’s participation as a panel member at the Business Network for Offshore Wind’s International Partnering Forum (IPF), wrapping up this week (Aug 18-20) with more live stream events, WindMatch networking, and the CareerMatch job fair.

The science and technology panel discussed “Navigating the G&G Survey – Phasing, Quality, and Lessons Learned”, with additional focus on new sonar technology, the future of autonomous vehicles, and the current job market for technical and scientific careers at our companies.

Another interesting and well attended conference focused on offshore renewable energy. Happy to see my colleagues and also meet so many new people, all excited for the future of offshore wind. Many companies will provide additional resources going forward that are much needed, and some will breathe new life via technology into a somewhat stagnant and complacent survey industry. Looking forward to all the new challenges.

Fantastic event in Boston, nice to see everyone and thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Geo SubSea is in excellent position to support the growth of the US offshore wind industry and we look forward to working with the many talented companies involved. See you at the next event.

The company was represented by Jeff Gardner who participated in the three day event, attending numerous seminars and meeting with peers from all corners of the offshore wind industry. It was an excellent turnout with opportunities for sharing information and discussing possible collaborations in the future. Look forward to the next one.
