Offshore Technology Conference Attendance Proves Strong in Tough Year | 12 May, 2009

HOUSTON, Texas, USA (May 7, 2009) -- Attendance at the 2009 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) reached 66,820 strong despite a global economic recession and initial concerns about swine flu. Energy professionals from more than 120 countries met at the world's largest offshore resources industry event, held May 4-7 at Reliant Park in Houston. Attendance was a little less than in 2008, but exceeded expectations considering economic conditions. The 2009 exhibition was the second largest in OTC's 40-year history, with more than 557,000 square feet of exhibition area filled to capacity by 2,500 companies from 38 countries.

"This year's attendance levels underscore that in a downturn, energy professionals come to OTC to learn about technologies and innovative approaches to reduce their costs and improve performance. OTC is known for presenting new and proven technologies that will help companies find and produce more oil and gas in deeper waters, and for sharing lessons learned on global projects that advance the offshore industry," said Don Vardeman, 2009 OTC chairman.

Due to the many lay-offs the Industry has faced, especially here in Texas, the Worldwideworker.com Recruitment Event at OTC was extremely successful. There was great interest for all jobs posted on our 'Worldwideworker.com Wall of Opportunities' and we should see the results of that on our website and in our database soon. Our clients Addax Petroleum, Eni International Resources and Hunt Oil Company were able to receive highly qualified CV's and some of them conducted interviews that same week.

From 7-10 June 2009 we will have a Recruitment Event at the AAPG in Denver and we will also be present that same week at the EAGE in Amsterdam.

Questions on participation in these events for employers as well as jobseekers can be directed to Mrs. Florence Card card@worldwideworker.com.

The Offshore Mediterranean Conference 2009 has just closed and according to the organizers it is clearly the best edition ever, with average growth rate of 30% considering the increase in terms of visitors attendance, exhibiting companies, conference attendance and exhibit area, thus revealing an unexpected countertrend considering the world economic general crisis.

Worldwideworker.com at EWEC 2009, March 16-20, Marseille, France | 20 Mar, 2009

Worldwideworker.com presented themselves at the European Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition in Marseille in March. Over 390 exhibitors, spread across 9,000 m2 in 3 halls, and more than 7,500 participants from all over the world were present for the largest ever wind energy event in Europe.

Worldwideworker.com had their own booth at the exhibition, which attracted a lot of people, both from candidates’ perspective as business-wise. Next to the main exhibition booth, Worldwideworker was also present at the EWEC Job Fair, next to some of the major players in the industry.

Over the last year, Worldwideworker became more recognizable as a Wind Energy recruiter, partly because of participating in events like the EWEC. Since the wind industry is one of the fastest growing segments in the global energy industry our participation was both interesting and successful.
