AMPP 2025 is providing a unique platform for exploring the latest trends in material protection and corrosion control. The second day of this event, held in Nashville, was filled with memorable and highly significant moments for all industry participants. Below, we provide a summary of the highlights.
An inspiring speech by Mike Massimino
The day began with a keynote address by NASA astronaut Mike Massimino , who served as a powerful reminder that success in any field is not the result of individual effort, but rather of teamwork, innovation, and resilience. Massimino, who has been part of high-profile space missions, shared his personal experience, highlighting how these principles apply not only in space but also in crucial industries such as material protection.
The astronaut emphasized the importance of continuous innovation and how new technologies can help overcome challenges in protecting infrastructure and materials from corrosion. This message resonated strongly with the attendees, who, as he noted, have the power to transform industries through collaborative work and perseverance.
Corrosion Innovation Awards
The day continued with the presentation of the prestigious Corrosion Innovation Awards, organized by Materials Performance . These awards recognize companies and technologies that are making a significant difference in the fight against corrosion and improving material protection processes.
The awards ceremony highlighted innovative solutions that have not only improved the durability of infrastructure but are also contributing to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. The award-winning technologies include advances in protective coatings, smart monitoring systems, and high-strength materials, all of which are critical to the future of the industry.
