This year’s conference consisted of 2,087 exhibiting companies, totaling more than 410,000 net square feet, filling all available indoor and outdoor space.

Visitors to Pride’s impressive exhibit had the opportunity to learn more about our diverse fleet and services we provide to oil and gas companies worldwide. Pride’s marketing department created the innovative graphics theme and Cynthia Bowen, Manager, Corporate Marketing, led the exhibit’s development. Pride’s marketing department, engineers, safety personnel, technical experts and other employees volunteered their time to work at the event and to answer any questions.
