UESI Pipelines 2026 Conference

Detroit, MI | –

Pipelines Research Symposium

Join us at the 2026 Pipelines Research Symposium, where innovation meets collaboration. This year’s event will bring together researchers, industry leaders, and utility professionals to explore the future of pipeline engineering and management.

The program will feature keynote insights from leading national research organizations and dynamic presentations on topics such as condition assessment, trenchless technologies, and AI-driven pipeline solutions. Attendees will gain fresh perspectives on pipeline integrity, rehabilitation strategies, and performance under challenging soil and climate conditions. A facilitated group discussion will create opportunities to shape future research priorities, standards, and partnerships—advancing safer, more resilient, and sustainable pipeline systems for years to come.

The deadline to submit abstracts is March 27, 2026.
