API invites you to join us at the API Inspection Summit & Expo in Galveston, Texas, January 24-27, 2011. The API Inspection Summit will provide an opportunity to learn about new and existing industry codes and standards, to hear about emerging trends from experts, and our interactive sessions will allow you to discuss existing and emerging issues. The API Inspection Summit is the only networking event for inspectors in the industry.

The API Inspection Summit was designed with you in mind. This four-day summit offers more than 50 timely topics addressing the needs of both new and veteran inspectors. Each day focuses on a specific topic area, and yet is diverse enough to fulfill most educational and networking needs. Our flexible program gives attendees the ability to attend one, two, three or all four days. Many sessions repeat to allow even greater flexibility.

Whether you are an NDT examiner searching for a career path, an API inspector looking to advance your skills, or an inspection/reliability manager desiring a greater understanding of the issues involved with the inspection of today's facilities, the Inspection Summit is the meeting to attend. These tough times call for a renewed emphasis on inspection and reliability, one inspection at a time.
