Invitation to AttendOur last Pipelines Conference took place in Nashville, the capital of country music . In 2020, San Antonio, Texas, the seventh largest city in America will be the host . San Antonio is a fast growing city, known as Military City USA, because it hosts the largest military installation in the country, Joint Base San Antonio . San Antonio is the gateway to the hill country and to Mexico . It has a very strong Hispanic heritage . But more importantly, it is a very welcoming and understated place to visit .For sport enthusiasts, we have over 60 miles of greenway trails where you can bike, jog, run, or simply stroll and admire nature’s beauty .For history buffs, we have the Alamo and the Mission Trails . Our five Spanish colonial missions (Espada, San Juan Capistrano, San José, Concepción, and Valero) have the World Heritage site designation and will assuredly provide an educational and very engaging experience .San Antonio’s cuisine continues to develop . In 2017, San Antonio became the second American city to be designated a Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO . The local food scene has been developing over the past decade and is one of San Antonio’s best kept secrets that will hopefully please your palate . The Pearl Brewery and its many restaurants should be on the list for places to visit during your stay .For music lovers, we have a number of dance halls within short driving distance of the conference venue, including Gruene Hall, Floore’s, Cowboys, Thirsty Horse, Twin Sisters, Kendalia, Anhalt, 11th Street Cowboy Bar, Broken Spoke, and Luckenbach .With all the wonders San Antonio is sure to provide, do not overlook the main attraction – the exceptional technical content provided at the UESI Pipelines Conference . This conference, with over 180 peer reviewed technical papers, presentations, and posters, is second to none in the pipelines and utilities industry . As always, we have an outstanding lineup of technical sessions, panel discussions, and pre-conference workshops . Also, do not overlook the fantastic array of vendor exhibits ranging from general contractors to specialty contractors, lining and coating manufacturers, exhibitors demonstrating trenchless technologies for installation and repair of a myriad of systems, pipeline manufacturers, engineering firms, to list merely a few . Ample time is provided to visit the vendors and discuss their services, as well as time for networking and catching up with colleagues . This conference has always provided a great forum for pipeline and utility practitioners to meet to exchange ideas, share knowledge, learn from each other, and swap stories .It will be hot and humid during the summer . Normal highs in the summer reach the triple digits . So, prepare yourself, wear appropriate clothing, drink lots of fluids, and have tons of fun!We hope you will enjoy the conference and take advantage of the many social and networking opportunities the conference offers . With all this, we want to welcome you to the wonderful city of San Antonio and the fantastic 2020 UESI Pipelines Conference!See you in July .

SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE (Subject to change)AN INVITATION TO ATTEND

Letter from UESI PresidentThank you for attending the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute’s (UESI’s) Pipelines 2020 Conference and welcome to San Antonio.

The Pipelines 2020 theme is Pipeline Engineering – Resiliency in Infrastructure. Resiliency is defined as the power or ability of a person or object to return to its original form after being stressed or stretched. We all like to think we are resilient people, but how can this apply to the utility infrastructure? Let’s face it; our utility infrastructure is routinely stressed or overloaded. This means that we, as utility surveyors, technicians and engineers, must promote education, planning, surveying, design and construction practices that allow the utility infrastructure to be resilient while embracing our role as contributors to a sustainable product.

Pipelines 2020 is an educational event for developing a pathway to Resiliency in Infrastructure. Whether you are seeking knowledge about effective planning, surveying & geomatics, project design or innovative construction methods for the utility infrastructure, you have come to the right place. Industry experts will make valuable presentations on these subjects, and you can also get a more hands-on education while meeting with consultants, suppliers and contractors in the exhibit hall.

Also, I would like to extend a special welcome to those attending on Public Sector or Student scholarships.

Enjoy Pipelines 2020, and enjoy San Antonio.

Mark Nutsch

Mark NutschGreen Beret Commander portrayed in the movie 12 Strong & New York Times Best-Seller, Horse Soldiers: An Extraordinary Mission of Commitment, Purpose, Heroism and Hope .

In October 2001, following the attacks on 9/11, Nutsch led a heroic 12-man team of U .S . Special

Forces on a covert mission to Afghanistan, where they would ride to war on horses to fight the enemy — side by side with their Muslim counterparts — capture the strategic city of Mazar-i-Sharif within a matter of weeks, and successfully overthrow the Taliban . Now a consultant to Special Operations Command, he earned a Bronze Star

with valor for his bravery . Nutsch, as "Captain Mitch Nelson," is portrayed by actor Chris Hemsworth in the 2018 major motion picture 12 Strong, based on the best-selling book, Horse Soldiers, by Doug Stanton . The team’s unwavering valor was also fortified by their unique, strategic partnership with their Afghan counterparts .

Presentation Topic: On stage, Mark takes audiences behind-the-scenes of the first successful Special Forces campaign that happened in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, sharing insights on leadership and team dynamics in overcoming insurmountable odds in what was described as “The Most Important Mission of the Free World .” While leveraging guerilla tactics on horseback, his 12-man team successfully out-maneuvered the full military force of the enemy to a historic victory .

Melissa Marshall

Keynote Speaker: Melissa Marshall Melissa is the founder of Present Your Science, a consulting company that provides on‐site group workshops, conference sessions, and 1:1 coaching . She is on a mission: to transform how scientists, engineers, and technical professionals present their work . That’s because she believes that even the best technical ideas are destined to

remain undiscovered unless presented in a clear and compelling way that sparks innovation and drives adoption .

For over a decade, she’s traveled around the world to work with Fortune 100 corporations, institutions and universities, teaching the proven strategies she’s mastered through her consulting work and during her time as a faculty member at Penn State University . Melissa is the go‐to expert that places like NASA, the American Heart Association, Pfizer, and Harvard Medical School consult when they need to present their world‐changing research .

In 2019, Microsoft recognized Melissa’s work in dramatically changing the way technical professionals use PowerPoint to present their science by naming her a Microsoft MVP or Most Valuable Professional .

Presentation Topic: Talk Nerdy to Me: Strategies for Successful Technical Communication

Have you ever tried to talk about a new technical project, only to be met with blank stares from your audience? Are you tired of the lifeless, text heavy, bullet-pointed slides that make up most presentations? Did you ever have a slam-dunk winner of a technical proposal go in front of a key stakeholder only to be rejected because they didn't “get it?” Join our keynote speaker, scientific presentations expert Melissa Marshall, to learn some practical strategies to immediately transform your technical presentations! Go from blank stares to buy in with your next talk .
