dmg World Media announced on Thursday it was cancelling the 2007 offshore trade show.
The show is still listed on the company website but a spokesman for dmg's Calgary office said the show wasn't drawing enough interest this year.
He said the show may also be cancelled next year as well.
Never fear, though, NOIA's annual conference is still going ahead full steam.
Danny Williams should take up NOIA's long-standing invitation and address a NOIA function. So far - after three years and long before Hebron died - he's been giving the event and the organization a cold shoulder.
Bond Papers will now officially start the rumour that if Williams doesn't take a keynote slot this year, NOIA will invite your humble e-scribbler to speak.
Danny.
Paisan.
Tovarisch.
That's something you really don't want, is it?
Leave the gun, Danny.
Take the NOIA offer.
