The PVP conference continues to be the outstanding international technical forum for the participants to further their knowledge-base by being exposed to, and exchange opinions and ideas on, different topics related to Pressure Vessel and Piping technologies for the Power and Process Industries. The ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division is sponsoring this Conference in collaboration with the ASME NDE Division. PVP is looking forward to fruitful technical exchanges between participants from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas and the Oceania islands. Our Conference will continue to shape the technology in the pressure vessel industry on a truly global basis. This year, the Conference Technical Program contains 700 technical papers organized into more than 180 sessions: technical and panel sessions, four tuto- rials, and the renewed Student Paper Competition. The NDE and Software Demonstration forums are organized as part of our technical program. Technical papers presented in this Conference are separated into tracks, in accordance with their technical areas, and published in the Conference pro- ceedings in the form of a CD. A series of social events will complement the technical program. A Walking Tour of Prague will open the program on Sunday afternoon. On Monday, the Panoramic Tour of Prague is a city tour including a lunch. The Conference-Wide Reception will be held on Monday evening on the Summer Terraces of the Hilton Hotel, overseeing the Vltava River. On Tuesday, there is the Konopiste Castle Tour, a French Gothic castle from the 14th century, with a lunch in the most renowned, and unquestionably gourmet, Stodola restaurant.
