The North Sea Conference has long been a cornerstone event for stakeholders across the region. With the last North Sea Conference held in November 2023, there’s much to build on as we reconvene in June 2025. 

The event organisers are already hard at work developing an inspiring agenda that will foster collaboration and networking for all the event participants. Oldenburg’s role as host city promises to add a cultural and historical dimension to this year’s gathering.


 

What to expect

  • June 24: Kick-off with an evening reception and welcome from the hosts in Oldenburg.
  • June 25: A day of engaging study visits and an impactful plenary session focused on the pressing issues and opportunities in the North Sea Region. The day will close with a networking dinner which will incorporate the award ceremony for the North Sea Video and Photo Contest 2025 and an exhibition showcasing North Sea projects.
  • June 26: In connection to the conference, The North Sea Commission will also hold different events on this day, including their Annual Business Meeting.
