Deep Gulf Heads to New Orleans
December 5-7, 2007 finds DeepGulf 2007 at the New Orleans Hilton Riverside and Conference
Center. The industry looks forward to visiting one of the world’s great deepwater centers. The
Offshore Industry continues to play a critical role in the re-development of New Orleans and
are happy that DeepGulf becomes the 1st major deepwater event to take place there since
Hurricane Katrina. The location offers a unique place for those working in New Orleans to
access the technical and networking opportunities lost since Katrina.
We are happy to announce Devon as official Host of DG2007. With an aggressive exploration plan for the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Devon promises to be one of the most active players for many years.
As this year’s theme, “Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Projects - Lessons Learned...Current
Challenges...Future Trends”, illustrates, the technical program focuses on all the challenges
surrounding one of the world’s most challenging environments...the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
In order to bring more focus on the Gulf of Mexico, we have decided to combine our longstanding
Subsea conference, Subsea Houston, with DeepGulf. This will allow the Advisory
Committee to keep its GOM focus, while providing a technical agenda whose topics cover
Engineering, Fabrication, Subsea Interface, Deepwater Installation and Construction, as well
as exploring the contractual and financial risks of multi-billion dollar projects.
The technical agenda of DeepGulf has had a 98%+ approval rating from attendees (based on
attendee surveys rating the technical program “good” or “excellent”); this combined with instant
audience response from our ARS system promotes much more audience interaction than in
other conferences.
The Networking Agenda continues to expand with a highlight of the Exhibit floor; longer coffee
breaks, dessert/coffee following lunches, plus 2 receptions allow all attendees considerably
more time for networking than at other shows. This, combined with our 3rd Annual DeepGulf
golf tournament, as well as several “offsite” social events, mean attending DeepGulf offers the
complete package of excellence for Delegates, Exhibitors and Sponsors.
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
