COVID shifted most conventions and conferences to online or cancelled them altogether. That includes the massive Offshore Technology Conference, or OTC. The event started in 1969 and is attended annually in Houston by tens of thousands of people in the energy industry. OTC returned this year in a fully in-person format for the first time since 2019. My photographer and I spent the day at NRG Center covering the event which included a pavilion dedicated to "energy transition" for the first time.
