What we bring to the booth
Our booth exhibit is a jack-up rig built one system at a time, from the legs on the seabed to the crew on deck, then cut open. Find us at a show and take it apart on the touch screen, or watch it and take it apart here.
Several of these shows also present awards a supplier can enter, OTC's Spotlight among them. Our awards calendar has the deadlines and fees.

Submit your conference →Decisions you can defend.
AI is reshaping how oil & gas companies decide: what to buy, who to trust, how to operate. When AI starts driving decisions you can’t explain or defend, the risk isn’t theoretical: it’s regulatory exposure, value leakage, and decisions no one can stand behind. ModalPoint runs independent AI decision audits for oil & gas. We don’t sell the AI. That’s exactly why we can audit it.
