You’ll hear directly from survivors and leading experts, gaining unparalleled insights into the human impact and the evolution of safety standards in the energy sector. We believe this is a crucial event for all working in the energy industry, not just in the offshore oil and gas sector. By understanding the lessons of the past, we can build a more resilient and responsible energy industry for the future.
