“This years USRCC Technology and Innovation conference was very well attended and contained a large amount of relevant content related to the most advanced topics that are dominating the energy industry.  Seeing participation from some of our top partners and customers demonstrates the need for us to connect and collaborate in these types of forums.  I was impressed with the line of questioning in the Q&A sessions after each speaker.  In fact, the only thing I would submit for future consideration is less presentation time, but more Q&A time, where the questioning created some provocative discussions that will continue beyond the event.  On behalf of Microsoft, we appreciate the opportunity to present at this event and look forward to participating in the future. “

Testimonials

“I had the privilege of moderating a panel on Robotics at the 2018 USRCC. The quality of the speakers was on par with a conference 20X the size. NASA, NOV, and TMK IPSCO covered immense ground from advances in robotics to change management associated with the threat to jobs many robots pose. Always a good outcome when you leave better informed”.

John W. Gibson, Jr., Chairman, Energy Technology, Tudor, Pickering & Holt, Former President, Halliburton.

“It was a well organized event with diverse participants from across the industries. It was insightful to see the digital journey and potential challenges companies in different business segments are facing. Also, discussion around Machine learning, IoT and blockchain demonstrated that companies are going through similar learning experience. It is evident that all sectors are facing similar challenges around data quality, skill transformation and business justification around digital transformation projects. It was good to see universities from US and Russia, Houston business and local development community all coming together to understand the implications of digital future for themselves and local commerce collectively. It was also insightful to learn about the startup ecosystem developing in Houston. Overall a great networking and learning experience”.
