Session Types
• FORUM
Forums are an opportunity to discuss information that is relevant to the industry but does not require a technical paper. The topic and information must be technically accurate and must be relevant to AMPP’s mission. Forums may include: Case Studies, Hand-son Demonstration of Tools and Instruments, and Panel Discussions. Forums shall address topics for varying levels of experience including beginner, intermediate and advanced topics.
• SYMPOSIA
Symposia is a way to hear the latest industry knowledge and methods before it’s available in popular literature. Authors explain how this work will help advance and provide innovative technologies to the coatings and corrosion industries and/or will serve to introduce new information to the existing body of literature. A technical paper is required and will be published in the conference proceedings.
• AMPPiTheater PRESENTATION (Exhibit Hall)
Theater Presentations are an alternate option to reach audiences in the exhibit hall. They feature technical presentations in two semi-private theaters on the exhibit hall floor.
• WORKSHOP
Workshops provide useful member services such as training and skills or professional and employment development and support.
SUNDAY, MARCH 6
• Understanding the Proper Use of Coatings Inspection Equipment Workshop
Presented by Lake Barrett and Bill Corbett, KTA-Tator Inc.
This workshop is modeled after the successful coatings inspection instrument workshop presented at SSPC Coatings + conference. This workshop introduces the attendee to the major instruments utilized in a typical coatings inspection project and allows everyone the ability to use the instruments on sample tanks, pipes, building facades, etc.
MONDAY, MARCH 7
• Coating Failure Investigations, Why Did This Happen?
A minimum of three coating failures will be reviewed to determine the cause and who is at fault. Audience questions and participation apply current knowledge to the science of determining the cause, assigning blame if there is a sole source, and possible methods to decrease the reoccurrence of the failure.
• Leadership From The Inside Out
Presented by Stephanie Biagiotti Corey, Xcel Energy, Kailey Dharam, Dairyland, Jim Williams, IUPAT, Kelsey May, MESA, and Nick D’Angelo, Cleveland Water
It’s tempting to view leadership through a results-driven mindset, focusing only on outcomes. But successful leadership relies on more than metrics. Diversity, inclusion, social responsibility, and ethical decision making are all crucial to a strong leadership culture. Leadership is not just a numbers game – it’s a people project. By challenging ourselves to be better leaders, we can change the world… from the inside out. This forum will provide tools to learn how you can make a difference in your own leadership for yourself and your teams.
Premature Coatings Failures Forum
Presented by Mike O’Brien, Mark 10 Resource Group, Inc.
Premature coating failures continue to cost asset owners, paint manufacturers, fabricators, contractors, shipbuilders, and others substantial amounts of unbudgeted money each year. Most of these failures are preventable if the proper principles are employed for selecting, applying, and inspecting the coatings. This tutorial is based on hundreds of real-life coating failures investigated by the presenter during his 40 years in the coating industry. This practical and informative tutorial is presented using many real-life case histories. It addresses coating failures that occur on steel, concrete, hot-dip galvanizing, and ductile iron substrates and explains the important properties for each of these substrates to consider when selecting and applying coatings to them. Failures involving most of the commonly applied coatings, including, but not limited to, inorganic zinc, organic zinc, epoxy, polysiloxane, polyurethane, water-based acrylic, and polyurea are discussed and pictures of the actual failures with these coating types are shown. NEW - When a premature coating failure occurs, it is important to investigate it using proper principles, techniques, and procedures.
During the presentation this year, the tutorial will include a new section on some basic principles to employ when investigating a premature coating failure, including how to prepare for a coating failure investigation, how to conduct the on-site investigation, how to determine the laboratory testing to perform, and how to analyze the results and write the report.
