Overview
The Offshore Experience 2026 will take place on 3 September 2026 at De Kampanje in Den Helder, the Netherlands, marking the fifth edition of the event. It is a one-day gathering focused on the blue economy, with particular attention to the ecological and economic value of the North Sea.
The North Sea is described as one of the busiest seas in the world, where activities such as shipping, fisheries, energy production, nature development and recreation take place within the same space. The central theme for 2026, “Multi Use”, explores how these different functions can be combined in a sustainable way while respecting the ecological limits of the environment.
The event is aimed at professionals from government, industry and knowledge institutions, as well as students, and provides a platform to explore how the North Sea can be used efficiently and responsibly—both now and for future generations.
