IVS together with Confindustria Bergamo, Promoberg and Valve Campus has presented the scientific committee, composed by a parterre of 19 experts representing the entire production chain.
The scientific committee has been set up and has been entrusted with the task of screening and selecting the most innovative papers and documents in terms of innovation and technology that will be presented during the cycles of conferences and workshops that will be held during the next edition of the IVS fair, scheduled on 26th and 27th May 2021. The team will examine and choose the technical and scientific papers that will be sent to IVS by 15 December 2020, the date on which the Call for Papers for the fourth edition of the summit will close. The selection will take into account the quality of the content, applications, attention to practical implications and consistency with the macro themes indicated.
The team is made up of 19 international experts representing the entire production chain - specifically, they are end users, engineering companies, manufacturers, universities, professional associations and certification bodies - and is chaired by Maurizio Brancaleoni, president of Valve Campus, the reference technical-scientific partner of IVS, who states: "The summit has never limited to the global exhibition offer but has proposed itself to the world as a place for the exchange of knowledge, innovation and skills among all those participating in the development and innovation of the sector. The path will be accelerated by the Advisory Board, which plays a fundamental role in involving the players representing the international panorama of industrial valves, identifying issues and trends and examining strategic developments in the sector".
The 2021 edition will provide a further growth opportunity for the summit. After the success of the third edition which attracted more than 250 companies and almost 11,000 visitors, an additional pavilion will be set up for 2021 which will therefore bring the total exhibition area from 13,000 to 18,000 square meters.
As a confirmation of this, Paolo Piantoni, General Manager of Confindustria Bergamo said: "IVS is establishing itself as an opportunity for meetings between producers in the Italian and European sector of industrial valves and the main international players in the Oil & Gas sector. We are continuing to invest in the scientific and educational part to increasingly become a point of reference for technicians and professionals of the sector".
"IVS 2021 also represents an important moment for the restart of the sector and in particular for the economy in the Bergamo area".
The Advisory Board is made up of the following experts: Bader Al-Jarallah, Rob Bartlett, Courtney Rau, Carlo De Bernardi, Carlo Mapelli, David Edwin-Scott, Brian Lade, Ron Merrick, Terje Moe, Umberto Navarra, Ugo Ormezzano, Christian Reynes, Domenico Sartiano, Emmanuel Sauger, Pietro Scalvini, Trace C.
