OTC
and NearSpace offer service for handheld devices
Posted: 23 April 2004
The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) has partnered with NearSpace
Inc to offer a new service to the annual event’s more than
50,000 attendees.
The service allows attendees to download important aspects of the
program and exhibition to their personal digital assistants (PDAs)
and “smart phones.”
The digital guide is available for Palm OS and Pocket PC devices.
Coined the “OTC Digital Guide,” the service allows users
convenient access to daily schedules, session descriptions and locations,
trade show floor plans and exhibitor information, venue and local
area maps, and much more.
“We’re excited to be able to offer the OTC Digital
Guide to attendees,” said OTC .04 Chairman Rod Allan. “As
we’re also celebrating 35 years as the industry’s largest
annual conference, this new and innovative service shows how far
the conference has come. It’s a huge benefit for attendees
to have all this information at their fingertips, and it will make
their OTC experience more streamlined and efficient.”
“We’re delighted to work with a show as large and dynamic
as OTC,” said Creighton Hoke, CEO and co-founder of NearSpace,
Inc. “OTC .04 provides attendees with a four-day experience
rich in learning opportunities. We help attendees sort through what’s
available and make the best use of their time. Attendees can use
the OTC Digital Guide to build a personal itinerary or a prioritized
list of exhibits they wish to see. They can create a custom map
of the exhibit floor, which spans all five halls of the Reliant
Center. They can even use it to generate an electronic trip report,
complete with a list of follow-up actions and contact information.”
Attendees can download the OTC Digital Guide prior to the conference
from www.otcnet.org/2004.
Once at the conference, they can update it at infrared, touch-screen
kiosks in the Registration area.
