The International Regulators’ Forum Offshore Safety Conference, Oct. 9-10 in St. John’s Newfoundland, has an impressive agenda focusing on safety through innovation. Among the topics that caught my eye:
- Human Factors & AI
- Managing New Tech with Old Regulations
- Regulatory Sandboxes: Capture vs. Collaboration
- How can AI and emerging technologies be used in risk management trending and operations?
- Why are we not learning from accidents?
- Breakthroughs in investigation techniques and sharing
The first IRF Conference was held 20 years ago in London followed by the 2007 conference at the Trump International Resort in Miami (little did we know 😀). More historical background.
The informed, diverse viewpoints about managing and regulating offshore operations sets these conferences apart from your typical professional events. The 2025 conference is highly recommended for those interested in offshore operations, risk mitigation, and regulatory policy.
