Miami, FL, September 14, 2021: The Inspection Exposition and Conference (IEC) is a unique opportunity for third-party inspectors to learn the latest practical insights from leading minds in the industry, all in one place – namely, Fort Worth, Texas, from February 23-25, 2022.
Experts from the American Welding Society (AWS), American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and Nondestructive Testing Management Association (NDTMA) will share tips, technology, and resources to improve the quality of inspectors’ plans, drawings, documentation, visual inspections, procedures, and testing processes.
“The goal of the 2022 IEC is to provide two-and-a-half days of continuing education that is informative and entertaining for both beginners and more seasoned professionals in the inspection industry,” said Gary Konarska II, CEO of the American Welding Society. “The keynote speakers, presentations, round tables, panel discussions and hands-on product demonstrations will educate and arm attendees with comprehensive knowledge of three important facets of the inspection industry and all its career possibilities.”
“High-quality welds quite literally hold our industry together,” said AISC President Charles J. Carter, SE, PE, PhD. “Attending the IEC is a great way for inspectors to ensure that they are working with the latest best practices and are ready to apply them during their next visit to a jobsite or fabrication shop.”
IEC participants can look forward to learning about:
- Inspection Fundamentals
- Roles of QA/QC
- Nondestructive Testing
- Corrosion and Inspection Plan Development
- Inspection Careers
- Visual Defect and Remote Inspections
- Inspection Documentation
- Advanced Ultrasonic Testing
- Welding, NDT and Coating Procedures
- Inspection Auditing
- Welding Design Fundamentals
- Steel Structural Bolting
- Coating Inspection
One previous Inspection Expo & Conference attendee commented, “I learned many more reasons why what we do and what we will do matters. I learned I need to do a lot more and that I am proud to be part of a dedicated community providing an essential variable to the fabrication of quality structural steel.”
Registration includes access to the exhibit floor (featuring what’s new and what’s next in the inspection industry) as well as all presentations, morning and afternoon breaks, lunch, and drink tickets to happy hours where participants will be able to share their experiences, collaborate, and make meaningful connections within this competitive industry through informal networking events.
Exhibitor space and sponsorship opportunities are available.
