Seventy-five years ago, in a small room in Houston, Texas, 11 pipeline engineers recognized a threat society wasn’t prepared for—unmitigated corrosion. Those engineers had the foresight to create NACE, an organization dedicated to sharing knowledge and expertise with the mission of addressing the threat of corrosion. Never could they have envisioned the community and body of knowledge that is today’s NACE International.
What advancements will revolutionize our industry over the next 75 years? Virtual reality? Artificial intelligence? Autonomous systems? Join NACE for an exclusive keynote session with best-selling author and renowned futurist, Jack Uldrich. During this interactive discussion of the changing technological landscape, Uldrich will apply his expertise and share insight into how technology will impact the corrosion industry’s mission and profession.
