ASME Standards and Certification International Pipeline Conference IPC

The IPC is held every second year in Calgary, Alberta, CA. It was founded in 1996 by a group of pipeline engineers and managers, to promote sharing and technical knowledge transfer within the energy pipeline industry. From its beginning, the conference has had significant support from the executive levels of pipeline operating companies and its regulators, and that support has grown over time. The IPC has become the must attend event of the pipeline industry with participants from more than 44 countries and sellout crowds of more than 1,300 delegates. The world's leading researchers present nearly 300 peer-reviewed papers to hundreds of pipeline industry representatives and special events are held for students, young engineers, seasoned engineers as well as management and executives. The technical transfer, networking, and sharing of best practices during IPC over the years has exceeded the founders' expectations. Many of the founding engineers are still involved with the conference to this day.
