Testimonials

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.

Melquicedec Mojica Martinez

Category Manager - Reliability & Integrity - CENIT Transporte y Logística de Hidrocarburos - Colombia

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.

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.
