3 DYNAMIC POSITIONING DP CONFERENCE CONFERENCE ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The 2015 MTS Dynamic Positioning Conference is the best way for DP stakeholders to keep abreast of the latest technology, applications and changes affecting Dynamic Positioning. This is a must attend event for all professionals actively involved in DP, or interested in a gaining a better understanding of this continually evolving technology. The Conference starts with a one-day workshop followed by a two-day technical conference. This provides three days of informative cutting-edge presentations, exhibits, and opportunities, through social gatherings, for informal discussions and exchange of knowledge, experience, and lessons learned. Comprehensive conference Proceedings are published on the Internet. This focused conference provides access to key decisionmakers and technology leadership in the Dynamic Positioning industry, making the MTS DP Conference the world's leading symposium on Dynamic Positioning. This year the Technical Committee has once again put together a diverse and well-balanced program designed to address the interests of DP professionals, including designers, engineers, DP Operators, support staff, consultants, class societies, government organizations and regulatory agencies, and DP vessel managers and owners. WORKSHOP A one-day workshop (see next page) will be held on Monday, October 12, the day prior to the official start of the Conference.

This workshop continues to be seen as adding value to the DP community. This view is reflected in the increasing number of requests to the MTS DP Committee to conduct similar workshops in other areas around the world. The workshop s value to the DP Community is further substantiated by the continued support received from the sponsoring companies listed on the inside cover of this program. The topics for the 2015 workshop were chosen by participants at the 2014 workshop and conference. 8:00 AM MORNING SESSION ANNUAL DP TRIALS - BEYOND TRADITION - LEVERAGING TRIALS TO ENHANCE VALUE BY: Demonstrating Basis of Confidence in Station Keeping Integrity.
