NOV

Challenge

As the premier global event for the development of offshore resources, the Offshore Technology Conference can seem crowded and impersonal. From an elbow-bumping crowds to the massive wave of attention-grabbing products and people, all screaming for the time and attention of more than 50,000 key decision-makers and executives from across the global offshore energy industry landscape, OTC has it all. With so many people and attractions competing for both time and attention, making a connection, especially genuine, warm and personal connections with your clients and industry friends can feel like an insurmountable challenge. For industry leader NOV, it was time to take their OTC experience up a notch, with clear intention and focus and emphasis on connection.

Solution

A centralized interactive engagement is the Activation Wall, where attendees can self-direct their experience, to better understand the NOV products, mission, and brand. The experience is composed of a large curved LED display, 120 LED panels, in a 20 x 6 configuration. The space is open and inviting, allowing visitors to experience the environment at their own pace and where they have the highest level of interest.
