A truly unique exhibition and conference experience will take place this November at WindEurope Offshore Copenhagen.

GWO is hosting the Safety, Skills and Training Zone, a mixed use area where guests will be treated to a three day programme of demonstrations, debate and thought leadership.

Combining six individual GWO training modules into an exciting timetable, RelyOn Nutec will provide a live look at various possibilities for delivering standardised training on site, all from inside the Copenhagen Bella Centre Exhibition Centre. We will also be joined by Zone Partners Maersk Training, who are providing support and content for a specially convened GWO training providers debate.

RelyOn Nutec will demonstrate six GWO training modules including Sea Survival training with a portable pool and several hundred thousand litres of water at WindEurope Offshore Copenhagen this November
