Sign-Up to be Included in the U.S. Exhibitor Export Interest Directory
Is your company looking to make sales internationally? Each year, the USDOC creates an Export Interest Directory (EID) of U.S. exhibitors at OTC who have opted-in to our vetted international buyers. The EID includes information such as Company Name, Contact at the Show, Booth Number, Regions and Countries of Interest, etc. and is only shared with the international buyers at the show. This directory allows the buyers to identify which U.S. companies are interested in selling abroad, which countries and regions those companies are targeting, and who to approach during the show. This is an excellent opportunity for the USDOC to bring international sales straight to your booth! Sign-up here: https://forms.office.com/g/d7ykUNLm40
USDOC Organized Programs to Connect U.S. Exhibitors with International Opportunities:
Business-to-Business (B2B) International Matchmaking Meetings: Sign-up to meet with public and private sector U.S. Embassy recruited international buyers at the show. Through the B2B program, your company profile will be promoted to qualified delegation members from the countries listed above. If the international buyer identifies your company as an appropriate fit, they will request a meeting. It is up to you to approve or reject the meeting based upon the delegation member’s profile. If approved, an introductory meeting will be organized. This is an excellent way to bring international opportunities directly to you at OTC 2022!
Business-to-Government (B2G) International Counseling Meetings: Meet one-on-one with our Energy Commercial Specialists from U.S. Embassies from around the world who have recruited delegations of vetted, legitimate buyers from their markets to attend OTC 2022. You will be briefed on individual market opportunities and challenges related to the offshore oil and gas industry and market potential for your products and services in those respective countries.
Register for these B2B and B2G U.S. Exhibitor Export Programs at OTC 2022.
