Offshore Wind Poland 2026: who attends, what it costs and how to turn it into meetings
Offshore Wind Poland is the annual offshore wind conference of the Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW). The 2026 edition runs on 17-18 November at the Sheraton Grand Warsaw. It is a conference, not a trade fair: the people in the room are offshore developers, the transmission system operator, turbine makers, ministries and embassies. It is worth the ticket for suppliers to the offshore supply chain who come with a list of named people to meet and a clear answer to one question: what can you deliver in Poland?

The event
What is Offshore Wind Poland?
A two-day conference about offshore wind in the Baltic, organised by PSEW, the association of the Polish wind industry. The organiser describes it as the largest event in Poland dedicated to offshore wind. Poland is moving from planning to building its first offshore wind farms, and this is the room where the developers, the grid operator and the government discuss what comes next.
The 2026 programme is built around four themes:
- Energy security for Poland and Europe, with offshore wind as strategic infrastructure.
- Industrial resilience: local content, the European supply chain and skills.
- Economic competitiveness: investment, innovation and reindustrialisation.
- Financing: capital, project bankability and new investment models.
Around the plenary debates there is an opening workshop on the Polish offshore market, workshops on local content and the Code of Good Practice, sessions on green hydrogen, Power-to-X and cybersecurity, and evening networking. The conference runs in Polish and English with simultaneous interpretation, so you do not need Polish to follow it.
On the morning of 17 November, the Baltic Offshore Strategy Summit side event brings together ambassadors and officials of the Baltic Sea states to discuss regional cooperation on offshore wind.
Audience
Who will you meet there?
The 2026 speaker list shows who the conference is built for. These are the groups, with organisations from the list published by the organiser on 7 November 2026.
| Group | On the 2026 speaker list | Why it matters to a supplier |
|---|---|---|
| Developers | PGE Baltica, Ørsted Polska, Ocean Winds, Northland Power, ORLEN Neptun, Skyborn Renewables | They own the projects and set the supply chain requirements |
| Grid and OEMs | PSE, Vestas, Hitachi Energy | Grid connection and the big Tier 1 packages |
| Government | Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Climate and Environment, Ministry of Development and Technology, ARP | Rules on local content, auctions and industrial policy |
| Embassies | Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Canada | Trade sections that help their national companies find partners in Poland |
| Europe and security | WindEurope, NATO, members of the Polish parliament and senate | Context on the European market and on protecting offshore infrastructure |
What you will not find in large numbers are distributors and installers. If that is who you need, a trade fair such as ENERGETICS in Lublin, held the same week, is the better choice.
Fit
Is it worth it for your company?
Yes, if your buyer is a developer, a Tier 1 contractor or the grid operator, and you can explain what you will deliver in Poland and with whom. It usually is not, if you sell standard products through distributors.
| Go if you are | Think twice if you are |
|---|---|
| A Tier 2 or Tier 3 supplier to offshore wind: cables and electrical equipment, steel and fabrication, vessels and port services, O&M, engineering and inspection | A manufacturer of standard products sold through wholesalers and installers |
| A foreign company that wants to set up local production, a service base or a partnership in Poland | A company with no offshore reference project yet |
| A supplier that already talks to developers and needs to meet the Polish project teams in person | Hoping that people will come to you: at a conference, meetings have to be booked before |
Local content is a theme of its own in the programme. Developers in Poland are expected to show how much of the work is done by companies in Poland. A foreign supplier with a Polish partner, a Polish entity or a credible plan for one has a much easier conversation.
Tickets
How much does a ticket cost?
A two-day ticket for a non-member costs PLN 3,700 plus VAT at the early-bird rate and PLN 4,300 plus VAT at the standard rate. PSEW members pay less. Prices as published by the organiser on 7 November 2026.
| Ticket | PSEW members | Other attendees |

| VIP | PLN 9,000 + VAT | PLN 9,900 + VAT |
Every ticket includes both days, lunches, coffee breaks, the evening networking and access to the conference app. VIP adds the VIP area. Companies that want visibility on site do it through partner and sponsor packages, which PSEW sells directly.
Preparation
How do you turn it into meetings?
- 01
Pick 10 to 15 names, not companies
Use the speaker list and the partner list. For each developer, find the person who runs procurement, supply chain or local content, not only the CEO on stage.
- 02
Write before you travel
Ask for 20 minutes at the conference, with one reason that matters to them: a reference project, a capacity they need, a plan to produce in Poland. Two weeks ahead is good, one week still works.
- 03
Use the app and the breaks
Every ticket includes the conference app. Confirm meetings there, and use the coffee breaks and the evening networking for the people who did not reply.
- 04
Bring a one-pager in Polish and English
What you supply, where you delivered it, and what you can do in Poland. The senior people speak English, but the project teams who check you afterwards work in Polish.
- 05
Follow up within 72 hours
Send each priority contact the next step you agreed. Our step-by-step plan is in trade show follow-up in Poland.

Plan the week
What else is on around it?
ENERGETICS, the power engineering trade fair in Lublin, runs on 17-19 November 2026. If you sell grid equipment as well, the two fit into one trip: Warsaw on 17-18 November, Lublin on 19 November. PSEW’s onshore event, the 22nd Wind Energy Forum, follows in Warsaw on 1 December 2026.
