Description

Prime ministers and presidents from the world's leading democracies will come together in Cornwall in June when the UK hosts the G7 Summit.

The G7 - which is made up of the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the USA and the EU - is the only forum where leaders of the world's most influential and open societies and advanced economies are brought together for close-knit discussions. They will also be joined by the leaders of Australia, India and South Korea, who will attend as guests.

The leaders' meeting itself will be held on June 11 to 13 at the Carbis Bay Estate, and discussion topics will include the challenge presented by Climate Change.

Global Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) will play a significant part in the global fight against climate change, however industrialisation and scale up needs to be accelerated in order to meet global net zero targets. Sitting at the heart of the European Offshore Renewable Energy resource areas, including the UK's world leading offshore wind market, Cornwall is playing a leading role with colleagues across the UK and beyond in driving this acceleration.

With the G7 leaders and guests in Cornwall discussing a response to climate change, this presents a moment in time to reflect on how a region can make a significant contribution to a global requirement. To this end, Wave Hub Development Services are delighted to be hosting a Floating Offshore Wind Conference on Friday 11th June 2021 in Falmouth as part of the G7 Fringe.

Subject to COVID-19 restrictions, we hope to be offering a blended conference with live speakers and audience within the venue interacting with delegates following the live stream remotely.

To ensure alignment with the G7 summit period, a venue has been secured ahead of this tender and content/ speakers has been outlined. Within this framework, however, there remains scope for a professional and experienced conference producer to offer creative solutions as part of the delivery of an international quality conference.

Wave Hub Development Services is therefore seeking to contract a suitably experienced company to deliver conference production services.

The attached Invitation to Tender document includes full application details.
