Plan Your Visit

As one of the most significant events in the oil and gas industry, the Permian Basin International Oil Show attracts thousands of participants from around the world, creating high demand for accommodations, transportation, and flights. To ensure a smooth and productive visit, we strongly recommend planning your travel arrangements as early as possible. Here’s what you need to know to prepare for PBIOS 2025:

Book Your Accommodations Early

Hotel rates in the Midland-Odessa area rise significantly during PBIOS due to high demand, and rooms fill up fast. To secure the best rates and proximity to the event venue, we strongly recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible. In addition to hotels, consider using Airbnb and VRBO for alternative lodging options, such as private homes or short-term rentals, which can provide additional space and amenities. These options often offer more flexibility in nearby towns and surrounding areas, where there may be greater availability and competitive pricing. Planning early will ensure you have comfortable and convenient accommodations throughout PBIOS.

Reserve Transportation Ahead of Time

Car rentals are in high demand during the event, so be sure to reserve your rental car well in advance. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft may experience longer wait times and peak pricing due to event traffic. Plan accordingly and consider exploring group transportation options if traveling with colleagues.

Book Flights Early for Best Options

Flights to Midland International Air & Space Port tend to fill up quickly during PBIOS. To ensure you secure a flight that fits your schedule and budget, book as early as possible. Flexible dates can also help you find better availability and rates.

Know the Venue and Local Area

PBIOS will take place at the Ector County Coliseum in Odessa, TX. Familiarize yourself with the venue’s layout, parking options, and nearby amenities. Local restaurants and services can be busy, so consider making reservations for any dining needs.

Make Time for Networking and Events

PBIOS is more than just an exhibition; it’s an invaluable networking and learning opportunity. With events, presentations, and meet-ups, planning your schedule early will help you maximize your time on-site.

Plan ahead to make the most of your PBIOS 2025 experience. The earlier you secure your travel arrangements, the more time you’ll have to focus on the connections, insights, and innovations that make PBIOS a must-attend event.

Preparing for Your Trip to PBIOS 2025

Due to the sheer scale of the Permian Basin International Oil Show (PBIOS) and the high demand for accommodations during the event, PBIOS does not feature a host hotel or discounted room rates. Instead, we encourage attendees to explore a variety of lodging options across the Midland-Odessa area and surrounding towns. With hotels, motels, and a growing selection of private rentals available on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, there are choices to suit different needs and budgets. However, it’s essential to book early, as rates increase and local rooms fill up quickly.

To assist in planning, we’ve compiled a list of nearby cities that offer additional accommodations along with their local visitor bureaus and chambers of commerce, which can help you find the best options. Nearby communities offer convenient options within driving distance of the show. Each of these towns has its own unique accommodations, attractions, and dining experiences, making your stay as comfortable and productive as possible.

Refer to the local visitor and chamber of commerce sites linked below for insights into available lodging options. We encourage you to secure your stay early to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience at PBIOS 2025.
