Building upon years of success with its global conferences ‘Pipeline Coating’ and ‘Field Joint Coating,’ AMI is delighted to invite you to attend its new event in North America, ‘Pipeline Coating & Protection 2016,’ taking place November 15-16 at the Hilton Houston Post Oak, in Houston, TX, USA.

Just like its counterpart in Europe, this new conference aims to bring together leading pipeline contractors, operators, pipe mills and pipe coaters, engineers and specifiers, researchers, raw materials and machinery suppliers. It will provide a platform for all links in the supply chain to interact and discuss market needs, novel pipeline coating and protection technologies, as well as industry trends, focusing in particular on issues specific to the Americas.

This is a unique opportunity to network and exchange expertise with colleagues and potential customers, as well as to learn about existing and potential technology innovations and become familiar with new products and services available to the industry.

The two-day program will start with a market review presentation delivered by AMI’s expert consultant – Mr. Noru Tsalic, who has been following steel pipe coating markets since 2007. Dedicated sessions will then focus on novel materials and coating technologies, testing and regulation, solutions for the protection of coatings during storage and installation, as well as field-applied and pipeline rehabilitation solutions.

In addition to the technical program, this industry get-together offers multiple marketing opportunities in the form of sponsorships and table top displays in the accompanying exhibition.

Join leaders from the entire supply chain at Pipeline Coating & Protection 2016 – the only event focused on this industry in North America.
