What to expect at the largest offshore renewable energy conference in the Americas

The 2025 International Partnering Forum (IPF), hosted by Oceantic Network, is the largest offshore renewable energy conference in the Americas. Taking place from April 28th to May 1st in Virginia Beach, Virginia, this premier event will unite industry leaders from around the world to drive innovation and collaboration in offshore wind and ocean renewables. 2025 IPF is proudly supported by host sponsors: the City of Virginia Beach, Dominion Energy, LS GreenLink, and RWE.

Why Virginia Beach?

Virginia has quickly become a major hub in the offshore wind industry. The region is witnessing a surge of offshore wind companies establishing operations, with existing suppliers expanding to support
local projects.

The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, one of the world's largest, began construction off the coast of Virginia Beach last year. When complete, this 2.6 GW project will consist of 176 monopiles, towers, and nacelles, generating substantial installation, operations, and maintenance activities, and the jobs to support them.
