A virtual conference and exhibition is an event that you can attend from the comfort and convenience of your home, office, or wherever else you can think of, through your personal computer or mobile device. But, this will not be just a fancy webinar! We’ve chosen an excellent platform that prioritises connection, interaction, and face-to-face (video) networking with other attendees, speakers and exhibitors, in addition to what you’ve come to expect for our highly technical content of expert keynotes, technical programme, special events and much more.

The current price of registration can be viewed on the registration page.

Yes, this year we’ve made the exhibition free so you can explore our drilling virtual showcase and discover the latest technology for the drilling sector. To register for the exhibition only, click here.

Yes, we have introduced a special advanced early bird ticket rate, but this is only available for a limited time! Book your ticket today to avoid higher fees!

Yes, the conference, exhibition and online networking will be available for 90 days after the event, allowing you to gain access to the latest insight on your schedule!

Registered Attendees are entitled to access the technical papers from the SPE/IADC Virtual International Drilling Conference.

Digital Proceedings are delivered on OnePetro®. From the first day of the conference you will be able to visit www. onepetro.org and enter your access token to download the proceedings. Registration and log-in to OnePetro will be required to redeem your token and can only be used for a single OnePetro account. After redeeming your token you will have continued access to all technical papers for this conference in OnePetro on any compatible device when logged on to your account.

Your unique 12-digit access code and detailed instructions will be available in the registration email coming from SPE Communications along with your credentials.

Yes! Similar to if you were attending the conference in-person, you will be given the opportunity to select which scheduled sessions you’d like to attend virtually. It is up to you to decide which scheduled sessions interest you in a given time block and to attend those sessions as desired.

Yes, just like at an in-person conference, speakers will be live during their scheduled live session so you can ask questions and interact with both the speaker and others attending the session.

Yes, you get access to ‘My Event’ which is your own profile where you can create your own programme and calendar of events, which will then create you a reminder ensuring you never miss a session! On My Event, you can also set up your meetings, access your networking and bookmark your favourite companies.

Yes, you can explore ePosters for the latest information and knowledge sharing on-demand and click-to-play.

Tons of features! AI-based ‘smarter’ chat and video networking with other attendees, the ability to schedule demonstrations with Exhibitors, scheduled sessions with technical experts speakers, on-demand access to additional sessions, and more.

Yes, through a variety of ways: video conferencing, online chat, meting requests, group chat (for different topics), and Q&A chat in each session. This is a great reason to be sure you attend the conference on the actual dates (instead of watching everything on-demand later) – these are the days when other attendees, speakers and exhibitors will be online so you can ‘meet’ the most people. You can also discover who is online and search by company, job title or interest!  

Yes! Our Drilling Showcase Exhibition will have virtual booths set up where you can learn about each company, attend exhibitor events, download and review materials, watch informational videos, and book video appointments to learn about the latest developments in Drilling.

Login and access information will be sent to all registered attendees one week before the event will begin, you have plenty of time to login, build your profile and schedule, and get to know the platform.
