International Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management Conference 2027
PPIM 2026 – Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management Conference
The PPIM Conference is an international industry forum devoted exclusively to pigging for pipeline maintenance and inspection, engineering assessment, repair, risk management, and NDE. It draws over 3,000 engineering management and field operating personnel from pipeline transmission and distribution companies, service companies, and equipment providers concerned with improved operations and integrity management in the transportation of natural gas, crude oil, refined products, LNG, RNG, LPG, CO₂, and hydrogen.
