The Share Fair, which had been scheduled to take place on for March 24, will now be held on September 16.
Gareth Wynn, OGUK’s stakeholder and communications director, said: “We are continuing to work closely with our members to circulate official advice on coronavirus (COVID-19) from the relevant agencies and will continue to work across the sector to help ensure the health of people in the oil and gas industry.
“Our more imminent Business Outlook Breakfast Briefing events in both Aberdeen and London are expected to go ahead as planned as they attract primarily local audiences and run for a short duration with more limited contact between delegates, however we will continue to monitor the situation and any advice from the health authorities.
“We will also be communicating additional guidance to all delegates in advance of these events to help mitigate the potential spread of the virus.”
Other Aberdeen events to be postponed includes the Doctors’ Training Workshop on April 1 and the D&I Conference on April 23.
