World Conference for digitalisation of inspection and integrity in the energy industry

29th August 2023

Digitalisation of Inspection and Integrity applications and processes is transforming the way assets are managed in the Energy Industry. The pace of change is accelerating and there is a growing need for sharing of knowledge and industry dialogue. The 1st World Conference for Digitalisation of Inspection and Integrity in the Energy Industry, organised by the HOIS Joint Industry Project, hosted technical sessions to address this critical need.

The event was part of the Digitalisation initiative in the HOIS JIP and builds on success of the HOIS Digitalisation Forum which was launched in early 2020 and held regularly since. It brought together developers and practitioners in the Inspection and Integrity community to share progress on innovations in technology and methods as well as review practical applications, including the challenges to implementation and highlighting the benefits delivered.
The inaugural event was held as a virtual meeting on the 5th and 6th of October 2021.
