RICHARDSON, Texas, U.S.A. (8 May
2003) - The 2003 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) concluded
today with 50,655 participants. This year's event took place 5-8
May at Reliant Center at Reliant Park in Houston.
The 50,655 participants in 2003

"OTC is not just a conference,
it's the convergence of thousands of people, minds, and ideas for
four days of sharing and building relationships," said Charlie
Richards, OTC .03 Chairman. "And this year's OTC was extremely
successful in light of all the current world events. The event continues
to prove its value in the industry and that it is a must-attend
for those in the industry."
The exhibition at OTC this year
included almost 2,000 companies, divisions, and subsidiaries, totaling
383,350 net square feet.
The conference program included
more than 310 technical presentations, nine topical luncheons, four
industry breakfasts, and the OTC Awards Luncheon.
The 2004 OTC, "Innovation
Without Limits," takes place 3-6 May at Reliant Center at Reliant
