| Nor-Shipping Exhibition  This year's Nor-Shipping exhibition – the 21st since 1967 – will be bigger than ever before! The maritime event week has grown steadily in both size and significance. In a global context, Nor-Shipping will be the most important meeting place for the maritime industry in 2007. Organizers invite visitors to come and "Join the Leaders"! New to Nor-Shipping 2007 are national pavilions for Romania, Vietnam and Italy. Other countries like India and Turkey have shown increased interest in the exhibition, and some of these countries plan to bring delegations of visitors to take part in the maritime event week from 12 – 15 June in Oslo, Norway.In addition to the bustle and exchange on the exhibition floor, Nor-Shipping will expand its "Leading Voices" conference concept this year. The opening conference will focus on Arctic shipping – a topic that will powerfully impact anyone in the maritime business, as well as the oil and gas industry, governments and the public at large. Three scenarios for Arctic shipping development will provide a starting point for commentary and keynote speeches by panelists that are experts and leaders in Arctic developments. TradeWinds will host its Nor-Shipping TradeWinds conference on Wednesday, 13 June at Oslo's Grand Hotel. Along with this big-ticket event, Lloyd's List, Digital Ship and Ship Management International will each host seminars that take place over several days at Nor-Shipping. New this year is a concept called Young-Shipping. Taking place Thursday June 14, this event brings industry leaders before a new audience: Students and recent graduates. Through an exclusive show, an executive tour of the exhibition space and social hook-ups, Young-Shipping will convey the global significance, pace and value of the industry to a new generation. The social element of Nor-Shipping will be as dynamic as ever with numerous open receptions and closed gatherings. The traditional Nor-Shipping grill party at DNV is always a high point, and takes place Tuesday night 12 June. Another innovation this year will be a Nor-Shipping regatta in Oslo fjord Monday 11 June. Sports fans will be able to conclude their Nor-Shipping with attendance at Bislett Games Friday 15 June. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
