The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the world’s premier event where energy professionals gather to share ideas, drive innovation, and advance the technical and scientific knowledge needed to responsibly develop offshore resources.
Founded in 1969, OTC’s global portfolio includes its flagship event in Houston, along with OTC Brasil and OTC Asia. Together, these events have welcomed more than 3 million professionals and continue to serve as the industry’s most trusted platforms for collaboration, insight, and connection.
As a nonprofit organization, OTC reinvests proceeds from its events through its sponsoring organizations to support professional development, technical innovation, knowledge sharing, and the advancement of the global energy sector.
OTC has been selected in Trade Show Executive's most recent edition of the prestigious Gold 100, which recognizes the top trade shows held in the U.S. The event is developed by 12 leading industry organizations and societies, with additional support from endorsing and collaborating organizations—ensuring a technical program that reflects the depth and diversity of the offshore energy sector.
