Recently, Greg Muha, Director of Conferences and Sponsorships for the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), confirmed that the 2026 edition in Houston is no ordinary event. Current metrics surpass last year’s records, with over 5,300 registered attendees before last-minute sign-ups, pointing to the surpassing of the historical record of 5,950 delegates.
Corrosion control and technological expansion
Corrosion control and industrial coatings maintain their status as fundamental pillars of this meeting, where Muha mentions the integration of emerging disciplines. This year, the technical agenda gives a prominent place to carbon capture, the use of drones for inspection, and state-of-the-art digital tools.
Likewise, the exhibition hall reflects this dynamism, with companies that have requested larger spaces to display their industrial material protection solutions.
Choosing Houston for this “home game” responds to compelling market logic. The city hosts a critical concentration of professionals dedicated to asset integrity and energy.
Sponsor response has been immediate, selling out multiple levels of participation. Consequently, the conference is positioned as the core where technical expertise and global business opportunities converge. The atmosphere perceived among experts is one of total renewal in infrastructure preservation strategies.
