Welding Summit 2025: Keeping Pace in an Innovative World

Welding Summit 2025 - The Woodlands Resort

As technology and industry evolve, so does welding. Staying ahead requires a balance of strategy, adaptation, and integration. But how do we leverage emerging trends to shape the future of the welding industry? What advancements in welding processes and materials can drive progress without compromising efficiency and quality? And how can automation, AI, and innovative training methods equip businesses and facilities to remain competitive while protecting their intellectual property?

This year’s Welding Summit will:

  • Examine how key sectors–including petrochemical, energy, renewables, aerospace, life sciences, and semiconductors–are evolving in today’s welding landscape.
  • Evaluate advancements in welding power sources, heat treatment, filler materials, base metals, and NDE processes.
  • Explore the growing influence of automation, AI, streaming-based welding training, and intellectual property protection in the industry.

Join us in shaping the future of welding—together.
