OTD 2011 is 75% sold out
 Offshore Technology Days 2011 OTD which takes place in Stavanger in October is already a huge success.
“Nine months before the exhibition opens, the 3,300 square feet of exhibition space has been to sold to 180 companies representing 75 percent of the available capacity,” says sales director Odd Eide Knudsen of Offshore Media Group.
Major offshore companies ABB and Subsea 7 have just agreed to attend OTD 2011 bringing still more enthusiasm for the event in Stavanger Forum, which takes place 19-20. October.
It is the first time in the history of the ten-year-old fair that it is being held in Stavanger after it moved from Bergen because of the lack of exhibition facilities there.
“Continuing this same pace, we can not rule out that the show is sold out long before the event, as we have seen over the past four years in Bergen, even if the exhibition area in Stavanger Forum is greater than in Bergen,” Knutsen says.
Especially popular is the legendary October Fest, which brings together representatives of all participants in the evening between the exhibition days. In 2011, “We can accommodate between 2200 and 2500 people – which is also a new record. But the records are there to be broken,” Knudsen adds..
