I work for a company represented worldwide and we don’t even have a booth for it anymore. It always fell on the Houston distributors to set it up and they finally said frick it.



Company I used to work for loved to blow money on stupid shite and even we just walked the show and didn't exhibit.

Does your company have a bunch of hot models in short skirts handing out stress balls at your booth?

Yeah that's a whole nuther story!! Vendors spend alot of $$ afterhours for those few nights... But the conference itself became a joke around 2005ish.. IMO

Nah. Surprisingly, ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi of all places had a few companies with smoking hot Russian women dressed scantily and showing off their cleavage. It was quite a popular spot

Pen grabbers at OTC
I’m at my company’s booth at OTC in Houston and at least 60% of the people here are just here to fill their 6 bags with pens and other goodies the companies give out. No affiliation with any O&G companies or anything. I’ve seen families of Chinese people arrive and split up and repeatedly hit the same booths over and over until exhibitors just put their stuff away. I saw one old Chinese guy try to take a small gasket ring and then laugh and act like he didn’t know what he was doing wrong when one of the booths employees told him he couldn’t do that. I don’t understand why you would pay to enter into one of these conferences just to steal pens haha. Unless there is some pen blackmarket I’m missing. Anyone else have experience with this?



fully expect crawfish prices to go up now.

No, what he doesn't use himself, he takes home with him.

I got all kinds of stories, but if I say too much, he might recognize himself on here.

Yes, we have a guy who works at my company who goes from booth to booth at annual convention and gets one of everything. It is pretty embarrassing. He usually comes away with 2 or 3 bags of junk.

People who go to things like this and stock up on pens, notepads, other free crap are strange. Like the world is about to end so grab arse many office supplies as you can.

After reading OPs post, I came into the comments haiting OP.

Now, I hate OTC, I don't know what it is but it's GARBAGE. Never going back, lost its luster years ago.
