Great interest in exhibiting at ONS 2016
STAVANGER, Norway -- An increasing number of companies are applying for exhibition space at ONS 2016. In fact, only once in ONS’ 40-year history has the number of applications been higher this long before the event.
The rumours of ONS’ death have been greatly exaggerated. New companies and even new pavilions have signed up for stand space at ONS 2016. The interest is impressive, among both new and returning exhibitors.
The cancellation of the mini-event ONS Norway hit the news this spring, causing some confusion.
“Yes, we know there has been some misunderstanding here, so please let me clear that up. ONS Norway 2015 was a smaller event, aimed at the supply industry on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. We had to cancel that one because of the market situation in the industry,” explains Leif Johan Sevland, president and CEO of ONS.
ONS 2016, however, is alive and kicking.
“The situation does not affect the big, international event ONS 2016. ONS has a 40-year long successful history, and is therefore fortunate enough to be on top of the companies’ priority list. Everyone knows that the international industry gathers in Stavanger, so they have to be here,” Sevland said.
ONS had a booth at the OTC 2015 exhibition in Houston, which gave the ONS team useful input and new contacts.
“We met a lot of interesting companies, and many of them will be at ONS for the first time. Our goal is to strengthen ONS’ position as an international meeting place for the industry,” Sevland added.
The allocation of stand space has already started, but a brand new exhibition hall will provide room for more exhibitors in 2016.
