Pipeline Technology Conference 2026 opens registration with finalized technical program
The 21st Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc 2026) will take place 27–30 April 2026 at the Estrel
Congress Center, Berlin, bringing together the international pipeline community for four days of technical exchange, innovation, and collaboration. Recognized as “The Global Pipeline Event”, ptc returns to Berlin with a broad program of training courses, panel discussions, technical sessions,
operator roundtables, awards, and networking formats.
Following a strong international response to the call for papers, the ptc 2026 technical program is now published after an in-depth quality review by the members of the ptc Advisory Committee, whose guidance is central to keeping the conference content cutting-edge and relevant. The program features 140+ presentations across 42 technical sessions.
Key themes for 2026 include advancing pipeline safety through improved design, rigorous standards, and advanced monitoring technologies; strengthening the security and resilience of critical infrastructure; reducing emissions across the value chain; scaling hydrogen transport alongside CO₂ pipelines; and
assessing how rising power demand such as from AI data centers will shape energy networks. The program will also address ongoing challenges in the pipeline industry, exploring how lessons, new technologies, and industry collaboration can accelerate progress toward zero incidents and ensure pipelines remain the safest and most efficient way to transport energy.
The event week begins with ptc Training Courses on Monday, 27 April 2026, followed by the ptc Conference and Exhibition from 28–30 April 2026.
