North Sea Conference 2023

Over 250 colleagues from around the North Sea came together on the 29 and 30 November in Rotterdam for this year's conference. 

The event kicked off with a welcome dinner on the 29 November at Rotterdam City Hall. The event continued all day on the 30 November, starting with study visits, a plenary session and ended with an evening networking reception. 

We managed to capture some special moments throughout the event. This includes images from the welcome dinner, different study visits and the main plenary session.
