 Registration is closed for this event
The Guild is holding its Annual Conference. The only conference to focus on expanding the knowledge and network of developing professionals in the pipeline industry PLUS the highly anticipated PDN (Professional Development Network) Presentation Competition Final!

 

Building upon the success of our previous conferences and complementing themes such as “The Skills needed to meet the Challenges to Reach Net Zero” focusing on the skills that we need to build as an industry, and "Hydrogen- All sectors, All together” the 2025 theme will be Empowering people, Energising Pipeline Innovation: collaboratively shaping the industry of tomorrow.

 

The format of the day will continue to blend a mix of case studies, projects, with experts sharing their views on the challenges facing our industry and some of the ways that can be implemented to resolve them.  Neil Armstrong, Group CEO and Chairman of United Living will give the keynote address and we will be announcing more high-profile speakers.  The Conference will also feature the Guild’s Professional Development Network’s National Paper Competition final and conclude with networking opportunities.

 

This is the perfect place to expand your professional knowledge. Suitable for all professionals from those new to the industry to longstanding members wanting to see how things could change in the future. Networking is a key part of the event, so following the close of the conference there will be time for networking.
