ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The 2016 MTS Dynamic Positioning Conference is the best way for
DP stakeholders to keep abreast of the latest technology,
applications and changes affecting Dynamic Positioning. Now in its
21st. year, this is a must-attend event for all professionals actively
involved in DP or interested in gaining a better understanding of this
continually evolving technology.
The Conference starts with a one-day workshop followed by a
two-day technical conference. This provides three days of
informative cutt ing-edge presentations, exhibits, and
opportunities, through social gatherings, for informal discussions
and exchange of knowledge, experience, and lessons learned.
Comprehensive Conference Proceedings are published on the
Internet. This focused conference provides access to key decision-
makers and technology leadership in the Dynamic Positioning
industry, making the MTS DP Conference the world's leading
symposium on Dynamic Positioning.
This year the Technical Committee has put together a diverse and
well-balanced program that focuses on new technology, while
addressing topical issues such as cybersecurity, green initiatives and
asset redeployment. The conference should be of value to all DP
professionals, including designers, engineers, DP operators,
support staff, consultants, class societies, government
organizations and regulatory agencies, and DP vessel managers and
owners.
WORKSHOP
A one-day workshop (see next page) will be held on Monday,
October 10, the day prior to the official start of the Conference.
First held in 2010, these workshops have proved to be both highly
informative and extremely popular.
This year’s workshop will focus on the latest MTS DP Guidance
Documents and will follow a similar format to previous years. Note
that there is limited space available for the workshop, and all
previous workshops sold out. DP Professionals planning to attend
are encouraged to register now. It is anticipated that the workshop

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Chair: Blake Denton, Noble Corporation
Co Chair: Chuck Centore, GATE
The DP Conference workshop has proved to be an extremely popular addition to the Annual Conference. The workshop precedes the
two-day MTS DP Conference and will be held on October 10, 2016 at the WESTIN MEMORIAL CITY Hotel, (same venue as the
conference). This workshop continues to be seen as adding value to the DP community. This view is reflected in the increasing number of
requests to the MTS DP Committee to conduct similar workshops in other areas around the world.

8:00 AM MORNING SESSION

4:30 PM - CONCLUSION OF WORKSHOP
The TECHOP Guidance Documents on POSITION REFERENCE SENSORS will be published and available on the website prior to
October 2016
Participants will review and provide feedback on the draft TECHOP to the Guidance and Standards Sub Committee. Comments will
be addressed and incorporated in the final version of this and other TECHOPs, if relevant.
Workshop attendance is limited to 70. Registration is separate from the Conference registration and is $150 per attendee.
