Stainless Steel World Americas 2012 Conference & Exhibition, 16 – 17 October 2012

The Stainless Steel World Americas 2012

Conference will bring together experts from

end-users, engineering companies, fabricators,

stockists, steel works, and research institutes in

order to exchange service experiences and

technical information regarding corrosion

resistant alloys. It will be geared to the provision

of solutions to the every day and long-term

challenges faced by end-users and will be

practical and case-study oriented. Whilst there

will be plenty of room to present papers of a

technical nature to update the marketplace

about latest innovations and products, much

time will be devoted to the exchange of

knowledge and ideas with a ‘hands on’,

workmanlike approach. In this context there

with be workshops covering: (1) Fabricator

Qualifications: When and How to Qualify

Fabricators from an End-User/Fabricator

Perspective; (2) How to Better Understand How

the Advent of Corporate Sustainability

Measures and Goals are Challenging Materials

Engineers; (3) Navigating the Multitude of

Here is what next year’s chairman, Brian J. Fitzgerald, Lead Specialist, Materials Engineer,ExxonMobil Chemical Co., has to say about the event for 2012:

Welcome to Stainless Steel World Americas 2012I’m very privileged to serve as your Chairman for The Stainless Steel World Americas 2012 Conference at The Woodlands

Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center, Houston, Texas, October 16 and 17, 2012. I am also fortunate to be assisted

by a very strong and capable steering committee composed of material engineering leaders from the supplier and end-user

communities. The Stainless Steel World Americas Conference is an established forum specifically oriented to providing

solutions for the end-users. The 2012 Conference will continue this focus with scene setting plenary lectures, solution

focused workshops and a collection of technical presentations based on real world experiences and practical applications

of stainless steels and corrosion resistant alloys. The broad expertise of the steering committee members will ensure the

very best presentations from stainless steel and CRA manufacturers, suppliers, fabricators and end-users are brought together to provide

end-user solutions focused on stainless steel and CRA selection, performance, reliability and cost effectiveness.

The 2012 Conference is again privileged to complement the presentations and workshops with a showcase of the latest technologies and

developments in the Expo Hall. This combination of focused presentations and workshops in conjunction with stainless steel and CRA

oriented exhibits provides a unique opportunity and excellent value for everyone with an interest in materials engineering and end use of

stainless steels and CRA’s.

Whether you are a long time participant in the Stainless Steel World Conferences or are considering attending for the first time, you will

encounter a high level of expertise and networking opportunities all wrapped up in an informal, friendly, social atmosphere aimed at

exchanging current and topical problem-solving information. So let’s share experiences and solve some problems by joining us and other

materials engineering leaders at The Woodlands, October 16 – 17, 2012.
