The International Pipeline Expo takes place in Calgary, Canada on an annual basis and attracts industry insiders from around the world. The exhibition is organised by DMG World Media (UK) in association with the DMG World Media (Canada) and is held in conjunction with the International Pipeline Conference of 2010.

The International Pipeline conference and exhibition both take place at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
The International Pipeline Expo runs simultaneously with the conference and lasts for five days. The International Pipeline Conference not only includes demonstrations and presentations by industry professionals, but also features a number of tutorials, panel sessions and a large number of technical papers that are presented by highly qualified experts and professionals, both from Canada and around the world.
The event, which is part of the International Pipeline Conference, is a leading forum which is attended by government, industry regulators and the general public. It provides a platform to further business relations and helps participants to better understand the technologies that are changing the face of the industry. Overall, the International Pipeline Exhibition and Conference is intended to enlighten, motivate and inform the participants of the various occurrences and developments in the International Pipeline market, as well as provide a platform for various stakeholders and service providers to interact with each other.
For 2010 the event takes place in September and once again will take place in the CTCC (Calgary Telus Convention Centre). The CTCC as a venue in Calgary is fairly easy to get to, with the centre right in the middle of the Downtown area and a stop on the Calgary light rail train system. You can attend an exhibition or conference in the Centre and quite easily find a hotel within walking distance.
Calgary International airport means that getting to this scenically set city is not an issue in terms of air access. For many international visitors Calgary's location can be out of the way though and involve a long flight. Allowing 1 or 2 days before the exhibition to overcome the jetlag, is worth considering if time allows.
