A word from our media partner

The Pipelines International team

Know the layout With the events and activities being held in two locations – the

Hyatt and TELUS Convention Centre – it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the layout when you register so you can make sure you don’t get lost and miss one of your many planned activities. Maps of the conference and exposition layout will be provided when you register, and there will be volunteers on site if you have any other questions so don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Plan sessions in advance

Attracting some of the most experienced and respected members in the pipeline community, the International Pipeline Conference will have many papers for you to choose from. The streamed technical sessions will begin on Tuesday 25 September after the plenary sessions, and run through to Friday 28 September. The 13 technical sessions will cover a wide range of topics, allowing you to learn from some of the top industry professionals and participate in discussions and lessons learned.

Explore the exhibition The International Pipeline Exposition showcases some of the leading companies and their new developments, products and services. With over 150 exhibitors, make sure to fully explore the exposition floor, meet some new faces and get a hands-on experience with some new technology.

Submissions open through August 15

About the award The Pipeline Systems Division of ASME has established the Global Pipeline Award (GPA) to recognize outstanding innovations and technological advances by various organizations in the field of pipeline transportation. The GPA recognizes the pipeline technology innovation process in all phases; from the research laboratory through field applications; from technology incubators to development of markets for new products; from government agencies to private companies; and from

individual projects to the consolidation of research and development results. The PSD intends that the Award: promotes progress and international cooperation in the field of Pipeline Systems engineering; supports achievements in pipeline engineering education; encourages the timely exchange of information among researchers and engineers; promotes technical activities, including conferences, in the field of Pipeline Technology; promotes safety and the public welfare; promotes global environment preservation; and promotes public recognition of the pipeline industry. The PSD will present one Global Pipeline Award per year to the organization that, in the opinion of the judging committee, has been responsible for the most outstanding achievement in the field of pipeline engineering for that year. The award will be presented at ASME-IPTI’s biennial International Pipeline Conference, or IBP’s biennial Rio Pipeline Conference.

Guidelines and application The Pipeline Systems Division Award Committee encourages all organizations to consider submitting their projects and innovations for this award. The deadline is August 15, 2012. GPA Guidelines GPA Application Please visit the Pipeline Systems Division website for further information and instructions—click here.
