Please carefully read the criteria before applying for press registration. 

• Complimentary press registration is available only to members of the working press who are writing articles or producing broadcast coverage about OTC (examples: reporter, editor, publisher, photojournalist, freelance writer*, etc.).
• Titles that will not be eligible include PR or marketing representative, account executive, corporate media relations staff, advertising sales, president, CEO and other non-editorial roles.
• Journalists must be employed by a news organization that covers the oil and gas industry.
• To ensure a secure conference, government-issued photo identification is required.
