Examines how electrochemistry—including corrosion phenomena—advances resource recovery, energy transformation and environmental sustainability.

A comprehensive course on direct pipeline integrity assessment. Participants will examine External (ECDA), Internal (ICDA), and Stress Corrosion (SCCDA) methods, covering everything from pre-assessment to remediation. Develop practical skills in data integration, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance through interactive lectures and group exercises to enhance pipeline safety.

A major conference for water and wastewater utility leaders addressing asset management, infrastructure resilience, operations, biosolids management, innovative technologies, and leadership development to protect public health and modernize water infrastructure.

This course combines classroom instruction with hands-on field exercises to develop skills in pipe-to-soil potential measurements, reference cell use, rectifier readings, and critical/non-critical bond testing. Participants also learn soil resistivity testing, isolation-flange testing, and basic cable-location techniques for a comprehensive cathodic protection assessment.

Conference for the electrocoating industry with networking events, educational sessions and technical papers on cost reduction, energy savings, efficiency, innovation and troubleshooting.

This course provides pipeline engineers, integrity professionals, and technical staff with practical skills to evaluate corrosion, dents, cracks, and weld imperfections according to the Canadian Standard CSA Z662. Real-world case studies illustrate defect interaction and integrity management.

The course offers multi-level training on corrosion, cathodic protection, and coatings for engineers and field professionals. Participants gain practical skills through hands-on sessions, discussions with industry experts, and the chance to earn professional development hours while learning proven corrosion control practices.

This course teaches how to identify, manage, and prevent key pipeline threats, including corrosion, bacteria, solids, gas hydrates, and failure mechanisms. It helps operators reduce costly downtime, extend asset life, and strengthen integrity using practical detection and treatment methods.

This short course strengthens regulatory compliance with Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements. Led by former EPA experts, it covers FRP applicability, planning-distance calculations, required plan content, inspection expectations, and unannounced exercises, providing practical guidance to avoid common mistakes and improve response readiness.

This course strengthens compliance with Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations. Led by former federal subject-matter experts, it covers applicability, plan development, implementation strategies, inspections, enforcement, common violations, and recent updates, providing practical, cost-effective tools for facility staff, engineers, managers, and inspectors at all experience levels.

A premier global event dedicated to advancing asset protection through the latest aboveground storage tank (AST) insights, regulations, and industry solutions. The conference brings together global experts, training courses, and exhibitor showcases focused on terminal integrity, risk management, and safer operations.

This course offers certification-focused training that combines cathodic protection preparation or rectifier instruction with sessions on external and internal corrosion and statistical process control. Designed for practitioners seeking structured education in corrosion control, it deepens understanding of protection systems and integrity management for buried and industrial assets.

This event aims to cultivate the Corrosionists of the future by connecting students with industry, strengthening professional training, and inviting companies to support or sponsor this initiative.

A professional development and networking event supporting women in the finishing industry. The forum combines leadership development, industry trends such as AI adoption and sustainable paint lines, a PPG Coatings Services plant tour, and structured networking to help participants advance their careers and stay current with finishing innovations.

Brings together offshore energy experts to address corrosion control, materials protection, asset management, and equipment integrity across oil & gas and renewables.

Held alongside the American Coatings Show, the ACC brings together global researchers, scientists, and industry experts to present cutting-edge research in coatings—from bio-based, functional and protective coatings to application, production, testing, digitalization, and advanced chemistries.

Two seminars unite corrosion and coatings professionals for knowledge sharing, networking, and hands-on learning. Featuring expert presentations and practical application sessions, the one-day Coating Seminar deepens understanding of protective technologies and industry innovations. Attendees gain valuable insights into coating performance, application techniques, and corrosion prevention while connecting with peers across the corrosion and coatings community.
