Record Breaking Ocean Business hailed as ‘the best ever’

On 5-7 April 2011 the third Ocean Business, organised by Intelligent Exhibitions in partnership with the Association of Marine Scientific Industries, was hosted by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in the UK. Records were broken for the third time in a row as the event grew not only in terms of the number of exhibiting companies, visitors and vessels present but also in physical size. For the first time a new dockside pavilion was erected to accommodate the overwhelming demand for exhibit space at the show that has quickly become THE ocean technology trade event to be at.

Exhibition expands again

Over 4,000 sq-m of temporary structures were erected to host 311 exhibiting companies from 24 countries. This year’s event saw 3176 people through the door from 52 countries. It is the unique nature of Ocean Business that encourages visitors to attend in vast numbers, and make multiple visits over the three days.
