Save the Date for the 2021 #DoDCorrCon!

Administered biennially, The DoD-Allied Nations Technical Corrosion Conference is a critical event that fosters an efficient and effective collaborative environment to not only better understand the impact of corrosion on DoD equipment and infrastructure, but also to jointly work toward practical prevention and control solutions. This effort brings together a diverse spectrum of technical expertise and knowledge representing government, industry, academia, and international corrosion partners. Participants represent essentially every field related to corrosion prevention and control; including basic and applied research, maintenance and sustainment, research and development, practitioners and manufacturers, and the DoD acquisition workforce. The conference will be held August 9-12, 2021 at El Conquistador Tucson, a Hilton resort in Tucson, AZ.

SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings has administered this event since 2017 after being awarded the event contract from the Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office of the Department of Defense in 2016. Attendance ranges between 500-700 attendees across the corrosion industry, with the technical program being led by a different military branch each year; the 2021 technical lead being the United States Navy. Along with a robust technical program, conference programming includes a general session with leading military officials, awards ceremony, a co-located exhibit hall, networking lunches, as well as an engaging offsite technical tour with a partnering military base.

The call for papers will be opening soon, so be sure to mark your calendars if interested in participating in the technical program. Registration, exhibit, and sponsorship information are also forthcoming.
