Founded in 1969, OTC\u2019s flagship conference has expanded technically and globally with the Arctic Technology Conference, OTC Brasil, and OTC Asia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ts-body text-primary mt-[1.5em] first:mt-0\">OTC ranks among the largest 200 tradeshows held annually in the United States and is among the 10 largest meetings in terms of attendance. The event is sponsored by 13 industry organizations and societies, which work cooperatively to develop the program each year. OTC also has two endorsing organizations and ten supporting organizations.
