ptc 2021: Back to Berlin!

From 15-18 Mar. 2021 Europe’s leading conference and exhibition on pipeline, pipe and sewer systems, the Pipeline Technology Conference, will take place in Berlin.

ptc 2021 offers again opportunities for operators as well as technology and service providers to exchange latest onshore and offshore technologies and new developments supporting the energy strategies world-wide.

Following the lessons learned from our online ptc 2020 and the newly launched Virtual Pipeline Summit series of online events, we decided to expand the ptc 2021 into a hybrid event. For 2021 the central presence of Berlin (ptc Berlin) will be connected to a new virtual platform (ptc Remote). Going hybrid will allow pipeline professionals who, for a variety of reasons, will not be able to join the physical conference & exhibition in Berlin to participate in the international exchange of experience.

Thanks again to the members of the ptc Advisory Committee and the whole ptc community for their continued support.

Get involved now by taking part in the Call for Papers or reserving your stand at the exhibition.

We look forward to seeing you again in Berlin!

Testimonials

The OMEGA Company has been present at Pipeline Technologies Conferences for 8 years - and we are glad to testify, that the ptc status as the leading event of its kind in Europe is not merely a well sounding metaphor. The online format invented and realized by the heroic ptc team literally in a couple of weeks gave leading pipeline specialists from all over the world the precious opportunity to share their news and view in spite of pandemic, this new treacherous risk factor for pipelines. We will be glad to witness the ptc-2021 in Berlin - and we are confident, that global changes predicted by some “prophets of gloom” will not effect this important and representative conference and exhibition. Danke, Berlin!

I would like to thank for the organization of such an extraordinary professional event. My time at Pipeline Technology Conference in Berlin was purposeful and pleasantly spent.

Romana Pavelková

Senior Manager, Technical Support - Net4Gas - Czech Republic

Thank you very much for defining illegal tapping as focus of the Pipeline Technology Conference in Berlin. The discussion on the topic has shown that despite a wide variety of preconditions, the problem exists all over the world. The exchange with the other pipeline operators from Europe, Asia and Africa was very fruitful. I encourage our collegues for creating a cooperation network, in order to innovate our startegies to tackle the problem. From CENIT Colombia we are willing and ready to support.

A great event, packed with so much knowledge and great speakers, offering a unique experience. In terms of a continuously high standard of presentations and knowledgable attendees from both pipeline operators and vendors, PTC is not only the best chance to talk to many different vendors face-to-face, but establish a network, as well. It’s a good place to initiate collaboration and try to brainstorm ideas for new concepts on pipelines.

The 2018 Pipeline Technology Conference far exceeded my expectations and is a great forum for technical knowledge and social contacts. Pipeline operators and technology providers under one roof is the best that one can expect. I look forward to attend the 2019 conference again.

It was nice to be part of this year's PTC. I have been looking all these years for something more specific dedicated to the onshore and offshore pipeline industry. Thanks to google as I kept researching and Bingo! PTC is it. I enjoyed every bit of the sessions and the organization was simply superb.
