Welcome to Nashville! On behalf of the AMPP Board of Directors, it is my honor to welcome you to the AMPP Annual Conference + Expo 2025.
This year, we’ve reimagined our technical program to better align with the industries we serve. These new, highly targeted technical verticals include:
• Civil, Infrastructure, and Defense: Covering bridges, marine structures, defense applications, water and wastewater systems, and more.
• Energy: Exploring oil & gas, chemical processes industries, energy transition, carbon capture, and beyond.
• Emerging Technologies: Showcasing the latest advancements driving the future of our industry.
No matter which sector you specialize in, you’ll gain industry-specific insights while making professional connections and forging collaborations with colleagues from around the world.
Beyond the technical sessions, the exposition hall brings together leading suppliers, cuttingedge innovators, and solution providers that give you access to the latest technologies and expertise. And finally, don’t miss out on this year’s networking events and receptions where you can make personal connections that expand your career opportunities.
We face many challenges in corrosion prevention and materials protection. Through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing here at AMPP Annual, we continue to advance our field. I encourage you to explore, engage, and make the most of all the opportunities this conference offers.
