Signature Annual Events

Annual Pipeline Integrity Summit

Our flagship annual conference brings together 400+ pipeline coatings professionals for three days of keynote addresses, technical sessions, workshops, and networking. The 2026 Summit in Calgary will feature a special track on cold-climate pipeline coatings and a field trip to an active pipeline construction site.

Fall Technical Conference

The Fall Technical Conference focuses on applied technical content — new research findings, case studies, regulatory updates, and hands-on workshops. The 2026 conference will feature 36 technical presentations and a live equipment demonstration area.

Regional Chapter Meetings

OPCIA’s 12 regional chapters hold monthly or quarterly meetings combining technical presentations with networking. Chapter meetings are ideal for building local relationships and accessing region-specific information on regulatory requirements and contractor availability. Find your regional chapter.
