Sheraton Hotel & Convention Centre, Dammam,

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. MPWT 2017 will provide an exceptional platform for

knowledge sharing through three keynote

speeches, 81 technical papers and six highly

specialized workshops. The papers and workshops

cover best practices, case studies/lessons learned,

introduction to new technologies, standards and

specifications, and specialized training and

certification related to MPWT 2017 themes. There

will also be a Poster Session with participation of

the young professionals, under the age of 30

currently and working in corrosion, materials and

welding related fields.

An exhibition section with over 30 local and

international sponsor companies will run in parallel

with the technical sessions and workshops. Saudi

Aramco is the main sponsor for MPWT 2017.

Sponsors will showcase latest technologies on

welding, corrosion control and materials. Some of

the key exhibits include robotic and laser welding,

UAV (a.k.a. drone) for inspection, advanced

materials including non-metallic, corrosion control

tools and equipment, mechanized welding

equipment, thermal spray technologies amongst

others.

As part of not-for-profit organizations that

develop quality standards and technical

professional accreditation, NACE and AWS

aim to increase awareness on volunteer

opportunities and establish positive values

and independent personalities for citizens.
