2014 CanWeld Conference

CanWeld Conference 2013

On September 28, 2014, the Canadian Welding Association will kick off its fifth annual CanWeld Conference. It will also be the first year the conference is being held as an International Institue of Welding (IIW) Congress.

This event is Canada’s largest and most attended industry event. This year, the conference is themed “Welding in the Arctic,” and for four days, attendees will get to explore products and services related to sub-zero work environments, as well as meet industry professionals and develop welding initiatives.

The conference is a great way to learn about technical research and developments, while grappling with industry challenges. There will be over 40 international industry experts who will present technical papers, some debuting for the first time. Pipelines, Shipbuilding, Construction, Mining, Research, Education, NDE, Safety, Underwater Welding and Energy are just some of the industry focuses planned for this event. The Canadian Welding Association have also planned a tour the Seaspan Shipyard, a golf tournament, entertainment, social activities and activities for spouses.

If you cannot make it to the event, there is always the option to virtually attend through online webcasts.
