IADC Conferences - Global Leadership for the Drilling Industry
IADC conferences are industry-driven events focusing on the critical issues facing the global drilling industry. Whether it’s enabling and cutting-edge drilling technology, well control; health, safety, environment; training, or industry economics and financial outlook,
IADC’s worldwide program of events brings together the right people in the right venue.
IADC is always prepared to develop new events to meet the industry’s evolving needs. At the same time, longstanding IADC conferences continue to unite operators, regulators, drilling contractors and service firms.
IADC conferences benefit from IADC’s reputation among government regulators and the industry at large. As the only industry association representing the global drilling industry, IADC has strong intellectual equity in the industry. IADC works closely with governments and our members to develop regulations, standards, guidelines and policies producing greater efficiency, safety and environmental protection in drilling activities. The result: strong participation among regulators and oil companies alike.
In addition, IADC convenes exhibitions in conjunction with the technical conferences to enhance the overall conference attendee’s experience. These exhibitions are sizable, but focused, giving our members an excellent opportunity to showcase their products and services.
To help IADC cover the expenses of these events, we invite companies with an important recognition and representation worldwide, to be the conference sponsors for a conference. There are four levels of sponsoring: Platinum Sponsors, Gold Sponsors, Silver Sponsors and Event Sponsors. High profile recognition before and during the events, signage, oral recognition from the conference moderators and logos placed on the promotional materials and web site are just a few of the many benefits of sponsoring an IADC event.
