3 DYNAMIC POSITIONING CONFERENCE 2014 ABOUT THE CONFERENCE There is nothing static about Dynamic Positioning Technology. It is constantly evolving through innovations, improvements and modifications. The best way to keep abreast of the latest technology, applications and changes is the Annual Dynamic Positioning Conference in Houston, the world s leading DP Conference. Two days of cutting-edge presentations, exhibits, opportunities for informal discussions and exchange of knowledge, social gatherings and comprehensive Proceedings published on the Internet continue to make the DP Conference a must-attend event for DP professionals. This year the Technical Committee has once again put together a diversified and well-balanced program designed to address the interests of DP professionals, including designers, DP operators, support staff, consultants, and vessel managers and owners. In addition to sessions on Design and Control, Power and Thrusters, Reliability, Risk and Sensors, this year will include sessions on Training and Competence and, additionally, Green Initiatives. WORKSHOP A one-day workshop (see next page) will be held on Monday, October 13, the day prior to the official start of the Conference. Now in its fourth year, these workshops have proved to be both highly informative and extremely popular. This year s workshop will focus on the latest MTS DP Guidance Documents and will follow a similar format to previous years.
