The three-day event is the largest offshore wind energy conferences in North America, bringing together industry leaders, government officials, and companies working to build U.S. offshore wind infrastructure. In a series of firsts, this year’s IPF will feature an U.S.-EU Energy Council offshore wind business forum with U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson, remarks by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Richard Glick, and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who will address more than 2,000 attendees representing the breath of the global offshore wind supply chain.
The annual IPF conference comes amid a booming offshore wind market which saw $2.2 billion in supply chain investments last year. This 2022 event will tackle issues ranging from grid and transmission, manufacturing, port developments, and increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workforce. Additional speakers include Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Director Amanda Lefton and industry leaders like Vestas North America CEO Laura Beane, Atlantic Shores’ Joris Veldhoven and Jennifer Daniels, Ørsted Offshore North America CEO David Hardy, and more.
