Organizers cancel 2020 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston

HOUSTON – After significant consideration and in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of the 2020 Offshore Technology Conference have canceled the event.

“As we navigate these difficult and uncertain times, it is with a heavy heart that the OTC Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to cancel OTC 2020. Our priority is the health and safety of our attendees and exhibitors, and we have taken federal, state, and local guidelines into account in making our decision,” states Cindy Yeilding, OTC chairperson.

Yeilding continued, “On behalf of the OTC board of directors, we would like to thank the staff, authors, partners, volunteers, students, teachers, and all involved with OTC for the dedication and hard work they have contributed to the 2020 event. As we face this uncharted territory, we remain confident of OTC’s critical role in the offshore industry’s future and eagerly anticipate a robust OTC 2021.”

To preserve the significant work of the program committee and authors, the technical papers and presentations will be made available at a later date on OnePetro.org.
