Offshore Technology Conference

HYBRID 2021

OTC Resumes In-Person Event with Virtual Components

After canceling its annual trade show last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then postponing it in May, the Offshore Technology Conference returns this month with a hybrid in-person and virtual event Aug. 16-19 at Houston’s NRG Park.

The gathering of energy-industry professionals will follow guidelines to protect against COVID, including social distancing, daily health and temperature screening, and enhanced cleaning and disinfection. OTC is also eliminating open food-service options wherever possible.

Masks are optional. Texas lifted its mandatory mask requirement in March.

With more than 564,000 square feet of exhibit space and over 2,000 providers of products and services, the conference expects more than 59,000 energy professionals from over 100 countries.

Several awards will be handed out, including Spotlight on New Technology, an award for exhibitors that showcases advanced technologies. The conference also gives awards for distinguished achievement and emerging leaders.

OTC’s Around the World Series connects attendees with global government leaders and energy executives on topics such as emission reduction, energy policies, and recent discoveries. A technical program presents offshore energy scientists, engineers, researchers, and executive-level speakers who discuss best practices, technical innovations, and emerging trends.
