The annual Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition (SSTB) has become the premier event for one of the fastest growing field development segments. This year's SSTB is scheduled for March 11 - 13, 2008 in Galveston, TX at the Moody Gardens Hotel & Conference Center. Over 2,000 people and 150 exhibitors are expected at this year's conference. You can't afford to miss it.
As our industry confronts new challenges, it has never been more important to submerse yourself in them. This year's theme, "SUBmerge Yourself" focuses on just that. Sharing of knowledge and collective experiences is crucial to improving the quality, safety, and economics of the subsea tieback industry.
The conference advisory board has once again solicited a number of key presentations by industry leaders. As in the past, only by participating in this conference will you be able to receive its benefits, as proceedings will not be published.
