YPP USA was formed with the mission of educating the next generation of Pipeliners and transferring the duty of care of the pipeline industry. From an idea in a conference room in 2015, YPP USA has grown to become the leading organization for young professionals in the pipeline industry with over 300 active members representing 25 states.
As part of our mission to educate and train young professionals, we engage with our members through monthly webinars, quarterly in-person/virtual workshops, engagement at conferences, and networking events. In addition to these opportunities, YPP USA hosts a bi-annual symposium. The YPP USA symposium is our flagship event that brings together industry experts and young professionals to discuss opportunities in the pipeline industry. Our last two symposiums had over 100+ attendees and received very positive feedback.
Our next symposium will be hosted in April 2022 with the theme “Our Energy Future”. At this event, we will bring together industry experts to discuss the future of the pipeline industry and the opportunities it presents as we transition to a carbon-neutral industry. Key topics will include the introduction of hydrogen in pipelines, the future of pipeline integrity, pipeline asset security, and the latest technologies being implemented in pipeline design. In addition, this event will host two-panel sessions including senior executives from operators and service providers to discuss the energy composition of the future and managing future workforce talent in the pipeline industry.
We need your help to organize this event. There are several sponsorship options available to help make the event a success. We are counting on our Corporate Sponsors to help expand the influence of YPP USA within their organizations and participate in our symposium.
