12th Pipeline Technology Conference, 2-4 May 2017

EUROPE'S BIGGEST PIPELINE EVENT THE ANNUAL GATHERING OF THE INTERNATIONAL PIPELINE COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF EUROPE After starting as a small side event of the huge HANNOVER MESSE trade show in 2006 in Hannover, the Pipeline Technology Conference developed into Europe's largest pipeline conference and exhibition. Since 2012 the EITEP Institute organizes the ptc on its own and moved the event to Berlin in 2014. The 12th ptc will again be a record breaking event.

OPERATORS INCREASING SHARE Over the last years the number of delegations form different pipeline operators increased steadily. At the last ptc more than 100 delegates from 50 different national and international pipelines operators came to Berlin.

TRULY INTERNATIONAL © visitBerlin, Foto: Wolfgang Scholvien

64% OF THE PTC DELEGATES ARE COMING FROM ABROAD (EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA, ETC.) ptc is a truly international event with only 37% of the delegates coming from Germany. In 2016 delegates from 52 different countries attended the 11th ptc in Berlin. The share of delegates from abroad is increasing from year to year.

VISIT BERLIN THE THRIVING GERMAN CAPITAL Berlin is more than 775 years old and over the decades, all generations have left their monuments and landmarks in town.
