MARK YOUR CALENDARS! New for 2025- Larger and more spacious classrooms! |
AMPP is a global organization of professionals who work to prevent corrosion and protect materials from degradation. Our members create and follow industry standards that ensure the quality and safety of corrosion control practices. They also offer education and training programs that teach the latest techniques and technologies for corrosion prevention. Moreover, they conduct innovative research to develop new and better ways to protect materials from deterioration. And they publish books and articles that share their knowledge and expertise on state-of-the-art corrosion control methods. |
Regular meetings are held in: September |
|
MembershipAMPP membership offers a variety of benefits and responsibilities as well as several membership categories. |
|
The Liberty Bell Corrosion Course (LBCC) provides systematic and progressive coverage in developing corrosion technology as well as “state of the art” expertise presented by recognized specialists from industry, government, and scholastic areas. The LBCC is actually several independent, concurrent courses that are presented over the scheduled conference period. Each course is a well-designed mix of fundamental and advanced information presented from a practical point of view. |
||
Professional Development Hours: Attendance at the Liberty Bell Corrosion Course will provide Professional Development Hours for technicians and engineers who need training classes to maintain their certification. Exhibitors will be on site to show their products and services between and after classes. Students are encouraged to spend their free time before and after classes in the exhibit hall. |
