The meeting place for the pipeline coating value chain
The Pipeline Coating event returned to Vienna, Austria for its 19th edition, on 10-11 February 2026.
The event brought together industry professionals from across the globe to network and discuss all aspects related to the corrosion protection of steel pipes and the transportation of oil, gas, water, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This included pipe production, coating formulation, coating machinery, coating application, pipe storage and transportation, pipe laying, field joint coating, pipeline maintenance and rehabilitation.
The event offered extended networking opportunities, adding value to your attendance. Reunited with existing contacts and built new relationships in a relaxed, yet vibrant atmosphere.
