The Offshore Technology Conference Asia (OTC Asia) recognises the unprecedented and ongoing global challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our partners, attendees, exhibitors, and staff are of utmost importance.
Considering the rapidly changing guidance and restrictions by governments and companies, and following consultation with key partners and stakeholders, the decision has been made to transition OTC Asia 2020 to a virtual event in the fourth quarter of 2020. We are actively working to confirm dates in October or November.
By shifting to a virtual event, we are committed to providing the industry a platform for continued knowledge-sharing and professional development to preserve the significant work of the programme committee and authors to prepare for this conference. In addition, it will provide opportunities for businesses to showcase solutions, network and engage with long standing and potential clients during this challenging time.
We are excited to be a part of this pioneering effort by the not-for-profit professional associations that organise OTC Asia. We look forward to the solidarity and collaboration of our industry and its leaders to support this inclusive opportunity to bring the industry together through digital innovation to share and discuss the latest insights on the challenges we are facing.
We understand there will be many questions about what a virtual OTC Asia will entail. OTC Asia will be communicating more information as plans are finalised.
We thank you for your patience and understanding given these complex circumstances.
We look forward to your participation in OTC Asia 2020 later this year.
