Oceanology International is a well-established event within the marine industry, bringing together over 500 exhibitors, 8,000 visitors, and more than 120 conference sessions. It is a must-attend show for marine professionals and businesses alike.
Since starting in 1969, the event has become a vital meeting point for the global ocean community, a place where ideas are shared, connections are made, and the latest marine technologies are showcased. Held biennially, Oceanology International is essential for those involved in exploring, monitoring, developing, protecting, and operating within the world’s oceans.
Hosted at London Excel on the banks of the historic River Thames, the event attracts a truly international audience, drawing marine professionals from across the globe, not just the UK, (hence the name!)
Join us as we speak with several of our clients exhibiting at the show to hear their thoughts on the event, why they chose to attend, and how exhibiting with a Quadrant2Design exhibition stand proved incredibly beneficial at such a busy and competitive exhibition.
Dynautics
A company specialising in control systems for uncrewed surface and subsea vehicles, Dynautics wanted a stand that complemented their bold yellow branding and products. The goal was to let their technology shine as the focal point, while still attracting attention and communicating the right message to visitors and passers-by.
I think the importance of the brand and brand recognition is critical, and the design of our stand here, which captures both the graphical element and the product promotion, has been very important so people recognise us instantly...It's a very strong brand and the presentation that we have here today demonstrates that brand strength."
Kieran Breheny
Braveheart Marine
Braveheart Marine is a well-established and respected company within the marine sector, with several years of exhibiting experience. As a Netherlands-based business, they wanted to avoid the hassle of transporting an exhibition stand across borders. Instead, they chose Quadrant2Design as their exhibition stand contractor and took advantage of the ease of our Free Hire Pro system, which removed the burden of logistics and build, making exhibiting in the UK a breeze.
It's also a little bit easier for us because we are from the Netherlands and we always were bringing our own stuff. It was such a logistical nightmare...So yeah, this is really the best thing for us now."
Caroline Hakoort
Diveworks International
A growing, locally based company, Diveworks International chose to exhibit at Oceanology International this year to highlight their capability for overseas work and to connect with an international audience. They were keen to make a strong impression and did exactly that with a custom display featuring recovered bombs, deep-sea diving equipment, and an immersive VR underwater experience on their stand.
We love it! We've had good feedback off of people as well. A lot of people have been mentioning the stand and how it pops, it stands out."
Dan Walters
Seabed
Seabed, another Netherlands-based marine company, was so impressed with the ease of working with Quadrant2Design that they went on to recommend us to fellow Dutch industry associates Braveheart Marine. Their goal was a stand that conveyed professionalism while positioning them as an established and reliable company among their peers.
I think it has professionalised our look, because we used to do the stand ourselves and it looked okay but it's not professional"
