FWD 2025

Festival Day 1

Wednesday May 21st

We open the festival on our biggest stage by asking a high-level panel of political leaders the biggest questions.

Our venues

The FWD Hub

The FWD Hub is made up of locations in a 2-minute radius of the main stage. Market Day and Supply Chain Day events will take place here, with a rolling programme of sessions, so you can pick and choose what and when to attend. In the heart of the FWD Hub you'll find the coffee house, Hos Carlos - a good place to meet up and network with colleagues and new contacts between sessions.

Main Stage

We start and finish each day with programme on the main stage in Maritim Hall. Look forward to a programme with international headliner speakers from the offshore wind industry, keynote speakers on sustainability, politics and the ocean industries. Visit our main partners at their stands in the expo area directly outside the main stage.
