Event Code of Conduct

At Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) events, oil and gas professionals come together from across the globe to discuss technical innovations and advancements in the offshore energy sector, and to network with one another. OTC values the participation of all persons at its events, and seeks to provide them with a respectful, harassment-free and inclusive environment for all, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, ancestry, citizenship status, age, gender, sexual orientation, and others. At the same time, all persons are expected to be respectful and courteous to others throughout the event.

Therefore, OTC has adopted this Event Code of Conduct (“Code of Conduct”).
