The event has cultivated a dedicated and thriving global community of top developers and experts.
“This year’s Offshore WINDPOWER Conference and Exhibition did not disappoint,” said Capt. Michael R. Burns, Jr., executive director of the Maritime Center for Responsible Energy at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. “The event proved incredibly informative and thought-provoking, and allowed us to return to the Academy with new knowledge for our students as well as valuable connections as we prepare our students for their next steps in this field.”
