PPIM 2025 to continue impressive trajectory

PPIM 2025 is expected to continue its pattern of growth over the past decade, coming off another attendance record of 3945 in February. “We had a significant increase in Technical Management attendees in 2024. They represented 21% of the participants and a growth of almost double in that category,” according to PPIM executive editor Ben Stroman. “These are individuals who hold positions such as Engineering Manager, Director of Engineering, Director of Integrity Management or Asset Integrity Manager, for example,” he added.

“At PPIM the focus is pipeline inspection, assessment and repair, as well as regulatory compliance and Integrity Management Programs,” Stroman explained, “so it’s a very specialized program that attracts a wide range of people. Technical developments and experience are reported in the presentations, and these are brought to life in the exhibition hall, where the tools and the professionals who do the work are available for private conversations.”

Plans are underway for the 2025 edition, which takes place January 27-31 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. The Call for Papers has just been published, with details available online at ppimconference.com.
