This comprehensive conference is jam-packed with technical information exchanges and sessions. Attendees can plan their day around a wide variety of conference offerings such as a symposia presentation on the latest corrosion prevention techniques, a forum discussion about best practices for corrosion mitigation, or a committee meeting to hear about current and upcoming NACE standards. After a full day of technical presentations or checking out the latest problem-solving products and services displayed in the Exhibit Hall, attendees can find networking opportunities and receptions where you can connect with the entire global community. Meanwhile, exhibitors can expect their days to be filled with speaking to CORROSION’s extensive audience of decision-makers and key players from across the corrosion industry that only CORROSION can attract.
