ICPVT15 is the world’s leading conference for the Pressure Vessels and Systems Community. It boasts a global audience, spanning multiple decades and continents, bringing together the richest and most in-depth technical programme of presentations and papers.

With the global transition to a net-zero energy economy, and the concurrent technical challenges to delivering it, pressure systems engineers are pivotal enablers in securing our future. Developments in nuclear fission and fusion technologies, oil, gas, and chemicals processing, hydrogen, carbon capture, renewables, all require input from this community.

For 2025, the conference is hosted and organised by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Pressure System Group. The IMechE PSG will build on its 40-year track record leading the pressure systems industry, enhancing the prestigious technical ICPVT programme.

Taking place across three days in Glasgow, the conference will include plenary and streamed conference sessions, an exhibition of leading technology and service providers, dedicated technical workshops and seminars, and exciting social and networking opportunities throughout.

Whether you join as an author, sponsor, exhibitor, or delegate, you are certain to benefit immensely from this unique opportunity to engage with your international peers.
