The biennial Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems exhibition will take place at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre on 3-4 September 2008. For this event, 14 new companies will be exhibiting for the first time and visitors will be able to see technological innovations, new systems and products from the leading suppliers to this industry. Visitors will also benefit from a varied seminar programme covering many different topics presented by experts in their field.
Located in the heart of the Offshore industry in Aberdeen, the event brings together the many companies who supply products and services specific to the offshore industry in addition to others representing processing, power generation, paper, distilling, water and waste, and marine engineering in north east Scotland.
With the offshore sector employing many contract workers, it is true to say that 'time is money' and Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems offers both visitors and exhibitors an excellent way to network in an informal environment, within their own region. Face-to-face discussions and demonstrations give visitors and exhibitors the chance to understand each other’s requirements and act on them.
