Dear HeliOffshore members,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Budapest and to the third HeliOffshore Conference and Annual General Meeting.

The deep commitment to safety from across the global offshore helicopter industry is demonstrated by the attendance of so many of you; our industry’s most senior leaders. It is also demonstrated by the growth – in numbers and breadth – of membership in HeliOffshore.

With more than 100 member organisations, we have the critical mass to continue to drive improvements in safety performance across the rotary-wing system, worldwide.

Over the past two years, we have defined our shared strategy and achieved strong alignment behind it. As a result, we are already reducing duplication and focusing our joint efforts on activities that will make the greatest difference to safety at the frontline.

Today, we see an increasing potential to deepen our delivery and advance our shared safety strategy to the benefit of those who work offshore. Our third conference is an opportunity to come together to assess, refine, and accelerate our activities, and to establish measurement and feedback loops so that we can determine the impact of our actions.

We have listened to your feedback and this year’s agenda dedicates more time for discussion with your industry peers. As a result of the many positive outcomes from our 2016 conference, we are confident that once again our conference will deliver commitments that will further

enhance our collaboration – including those that will nurture a highly productive business environment for safety improvements.

We want to thank presenters, our facilitators FirstHuman, our event organisers Kipling Associates, and the HeliOffshore team.

Thanks also to our generous sponsors, who help to defray the cost of the conference and for approaching the social events with a collaborative spirit. Airbus, GE Aviation, Leonardo Helicopters, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Rockwell Collins, Safran Helicopter Engines and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for their sponsorship of our social events; and Bell Helicopter Textron for sponsoring the conference meeting.

During our time in Budapest, we encourage you to reflect on the progress and achievements of the past two years. We will acknowledge the contributions made by members and, most importantly, we will acknowledge the power of your personal commitment to our collaboration – one which is ultimately about protecting the lives of all who travel offshore.
