Pipeline industry professionals will gather in Houston once again to see and hear about the very latest in inspection, assessment and remediation response for pipelines transporting oil, gas and products. It’s all happening at the 38th Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management Conference – PPIM 2026.

New in 2026 is the free-to-attend Operators Integrity Workshop, bringing together pipeline operators to analyze and improve on the core pillars of Inspection, Materials, Engineering-Assessment, and Response as they relate to managing aging assets and advancing integrity management strategies for high-pressure pipelines.

Geohazards will again be a central focus at PPIM 2026 with four devoted sessions on better understanding strain-based assessments, landslide risk, monitoring and so much more.

Dent Assessment & Management continues to be a hot topic for pipeline operators. Though much needed information has been uncovered about the effects of dents on pipelines, there is still a great need to better understand how to evaluate, analyze and remediate these defects. PPIM 2026 will have two technical sessions targeting this subject.

74 presentations – across 15 topical tracks – will cover these as well as 'unpiggable' inspection technologies, crack assessment and management, engineering/risk assessment, materials verification and repair.
