Become a speaker
Join the Pipeline Technology Conference as speaker.
Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract (max. 300 words) describing the main ideas of their paper together with the presenter’s CV (max. 200 words) and a presenter's photo (jpg file). Abstracts should not focus on company presentation but on technical/managerial classifications, R&D, new technologies or recent case studies. Joint presentations between pipeline operators and technology providers are welcome. All abstracts will be reviewed in the ptc Advisory Committee.
Each speaker gets a presentation time of 20 minutes. The presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and distributed to the conference attendees. All abstracts and papers will also be published in the our abstract database.
All speakers are requested to register as normal delegate (confirmed speakers from pipeline operators attend free-of-charge).
Technical papers of authors who do not attend the conference to present their papers may not be included in the online database and future conferences.
Conference language: English.
