Gas Industry Awards 2021
Category: Organisation Event
The Gas Industry Awards, due to take place on 6 May 2020, have been postponed until 18 May 2021 due to the current coronavirus crisis.
The Gas Industry Awards, brought to you by the Energy and Utilities Alliance (EUA) and the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM), recognises the contribution of the gas industry’s most innovative, dedicated and outstanding members.
Mike Foster, Chief Executive of EUA, said: “The decision to move the event to next year means that we can give the award nominees the full coverage they deserve.
“All nominations and bookings received for 2020 will be carried over to 2021 event. A new date will be announced soon.
“The annual Gas Industry Awards, will be 21 next year! Twenty-one years of providing an opportunity to celebrate the progress of the industry and the chance to inspire the future. The gas network is a key national asset, invested in for decades to serve customers, providing a secure, flexible source of energy, and the industry that serves it is brimming with talent.
“Whilst this delay comes with a heavy heart, EUA is confident that the awards will continue to be the largest and most prestigious event in the gas industry calendar.”
Neil Atkinson, Chief Executive of IGEM, said: “We know you’ll be as disappointed as we are that the Gas Industry Awards are not going ahead this year. However, we are looking forward to being reunited in 2021, when we can finally give our nominated people, projects and companies the recognition they deserve.
“This is a tough time for everyone, especially those working in critical infrastructure. But during this unprecedented period of hardship, while you are all hard at work maintaining one the safest and greenest gas networks in the world, we’ll be readying an extra special awards to celebrate your commitment and dedication.”

Subsea Expo 2021
Category: Organisation Event
Location: P&J Live, Aberdeen
The world’s largest underwater engineering event - Subsea Expo - which was shaping up to be the sector’s first post-pandemic, large scale physical event, is to be postponed due to the current coronavirus-imposed restrictions.
Organisers, Subsea UK, announced today that the three-day conference and exhibition, along with the annual Subsea Awards dinner, will now take place on 25-27 May 2021.
Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK, said: “Unfortunately we have been forced to take the decision to postpone Subsea Expo. At the time of setting the February dates, we were confident that the worst of the global pandemic would be behind us. Given the current situation with COVID cases rising and restrictions being re-imposed rather than lifting, we seem to be going backwards and the ability to host a large-scale event in late February next year is becoming increasingly unlikely.
“Postponing the event is therefore the sensible thing to do. We appreciate this will be disappointing for our exhibitors and sponsors but by working closely with the venue, P&J Live, and the industry we’ve been able to move the event to May 2021 when we can deliver it safely and secure maximum attendance from the UK and overseas.”
When the subsea industry body announced the date, theme and call for papers, they had sought feedback from members and the wider industry which revealed that there was no appetite for a virtual event with exhibitors, sponsors and delegates very much in favour of a face-to-face event with the valuable networking this affords.
Subsea Expo will celebrate its 16th anniversary next year and already has over 40% of the exhibition space booked. The theme for the event will still be Oceans of Opportunity – harnessing the Blue Economy, and will explore how the UK’s underwater engineering industry can capitalise on the global blue economy, estimated to be worth $3 trillion by 2030.
Mr Gordon added: “With leading figures from sectors of the Blue Economy presenting at Subsea Expo 2021, the event is an ideal platform for companies to glean market intelligence and identify ways of developing opportunities in new market sectors. Much of this comes from the informal conversations in and around the exhibition and conference which is why we favour a real event over a virtual one. By pushing Subsea Expo back by several months, we will make sure that our exhibitors and delegates enjoy a safe and valuable event that will allow them to make meaningful connections and learn about the opportunities in the race towards net-zero, the green recovery, including hydrogen and CCUS, as well as the oceans of opportunity in the blue economy.”
The deadline for submitting abstracts to present at Subsea Expo and entries for the Subsea UK Awards will now be 14 February 2021.
