Infrastructure's Hidden Assets

 

Notes from the Technical Chairs:

Thank you for your participation in the Pipelines Conference 2009.  There are a few items that we would like you to take notice of in the preparation of your paper submissions:

• Permission from facility owner: The instructions have a section titled permissions that deals with copyright issues. However, please make certain that you have obtained permission(s) to present from the responsible owning authority of the featured project. We have had situations in the past where people have not been able to present because the owner objects after they find out at a later date.

• Commercialization: Commercialization in the form of touting a firm, company or product is unacceptable and will not be allowed in the final version of the papers.

• Final papers are due by Friday, May 8, 2009.

Thank You,

John Galleher, P.E.	Technical Program Co-Chair
