Here comes the sun

摘要

Glorious sunshine shone down on Ocean Business 2009, organised by Intelligent Exhibitions and held at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), UK, on 31 March-2 April. The bi-annual event, which was also blessed by the sun in its launch year of 2007, once again successfully combined a packed exhibition with hands-on training and demonstration sessions -both on land and on water - and a lively series of social networking events.rnThe sold out exhibition, close to double the size from 2007, included more than 250 companies from the world's leading ocean technology suppliers and service providers. The action was not limited to the halls however, as attendees were able to take full advantage of more than 180 hours of free to attend hands-on training and demonstration sessions.
