production, ATCE offers a three-day window of opportunity for
your company to showcase its offerings to attendees gathered to
exchange knowledge, gain insights from experts, and stay up to
date on the latest innovations.
The 2015 conference and exhibition will take place at the George R.
Brown Convention Center. Located in downtown Houston, within 25
miles of the heartbeat of the oil and gas industry, ATCE will attract
thousands of industry professionals. As an exhibitor, your company

trade shows in North America. Come be a part of this dynamic
exhibition!
The program committee curates the content of this conference to
ensure ATCE is fresh and relevant to our attendees: seasoned and
upcoming industry professionals including executives, engineers,
managers, and scientists as well as engineering students pursuing
oil and gas careers.
Stake your presence at ATCE where you will have a prime
audience of oil and gas movers, shakers, and decision makers,
