LIFECYCLE OF PRESSURE SYSTEMS 2026
LIFECYCLE OF PRESSURE SYSTEMS 2026
28-29 October 2026
One Birdcage Walk, London
Join leaders shaping the future of
pressure systems for all asset stages
Don't miss this “state of the industry” designed to update all those involved with pressure systems and equipment and for all asset stages: from design and installation to daily operation and decommissioning.
Following the tremendous success of our 2023 Lifecycle event and our hosting of ICPVT-15 in 2025, we are launching 2026 with a refreshed and exciting new concept. This year, we are bringing the pressure systems community together in the IMechE’s iconic lecture theatre at its London headquarters for a single-stream event, allowing all participants to benefit from insights and discussions across the full pressure systems value chain.
The event will be structured around themed sessions that reflect the full lifecycle of pressure systems. These sessions will explore the journey from design and manufacture through operation, life extension, innovation, and ultimately decommissioning—bringing together diverse perspectives in a cohesive programme focused on efficiency, collaboration, and industry insight.
Join your peers this October and benefit from networking and knowledge sharing and take away key guidance and successful strategies that will enable your organisation to comply with the latest legislation and enhance cost-effectiveness of your existing budgets.
