The 2nd Annual Corrosion Management Summit seeks to furnish participants with the latest developments in the industry related to corrosion. The 3-day Summit will include specialized workshops, case studies, exhibitions, interactive discussions and presentations on corrosion management and engineering by well known experts across the globe. Through interactive sessions with leading Corrosion experts and solution providers, participants will be armed with better understanding of the requirements, strategies and implementations to ensure the right approach to integrate successful design and corrosion management principles.

Higher priority on both technology and management should be placed on the causes, monitoring of effect caused by corrosion, controlling its various outcomes and undertaking remedial work by international and state oil companies. Corrosion is one of the few phenomenas for which inspection techniques remain out of step with the reality of the chemical processes involved. The 2nd Annual Corrosion Summit is one of the few summits that will address one of the most ignored yet potent topics. This summit, with the help from industry leaders, will be an eye opener to many who are still fighting the consequences of corrosion.
