We’re in Houston, Texas this week attending the Offshore Technology Conference, an event that is expected to bring more than 100,000 industry professionals to Reliant Park, North America’s largest and most versatile complex of event venues. The OTC offers attendees the latest technology in offshore resources including drilling, exploration, production and environmental protection.

This conference offers an opportunity to see ground-breaking innovations as well as meet the leading providers of products and services packed into four days. The program is selected by knowledgeable and experienced professionals, and offers an opportunity to meet and network with thousands of individuals.

History of the Offshore Technology Conference

Founded in 1969, the Offshore Technology Conference is the world’s foremost event for information and development on offshore resources. The conference is sponsored by 13 industry organizations and societies who work cooperatively to develop the technical program. Among the largest 200 trade shows held annually in the United States, OTC is among the 10 largest meetings in terms of attendance, which consistently exceeds 80,000 and more than 2,700 companies participate in the exhibition. OTC includes attendees from around the world, with over 120 countries represented at recent conferences.

The OTC is governed by a Board of Directors made of up 14 representatives, 12 from OTC’s sponsoring organizations and two from OTC’s endorsing organizations.

The primary goal of the OTC is to promote and further the advance of scientific and technical knowledge of offshore resources and environmental matters.
