OIF’s Q1’26 Technical and MA&E Committees Meeting last week was packed with project work, but we also made time to get outside.

A few members got together for a Palm Springs "fun run" and some much-needed sunshine before sessions.

[OIForum @OiForum]

Huge thanks to everyone who joined OIF’s Q1’26 Technical + MA&E Committees Meeting in Palm Springs. 200+ participants from member companies made it a highly productive week of project work that keeps interoperability moving from ideas to implementation.
