The biggest pipeline event in Brazil has become even more international. Rio Pipeline 2005 has grown in size and structure to become the world market meeting point. The Conference and Exposition was held at the largest convention center in Rio de Janeiro - Riocentro, covering all relevant issues in the sector.

In the 2007, 2009 and 2011 editions, Rio Pipeline was held on a new conventions center, The SulAmérica Convention Center (former RioCidadeNova), located in the downtown area of Rio de Janeiro. This is a more accessible location to its target audience, making the transportation simple and counting with the latest infrastructure resources and technology.

The main objective is to share technological advances, sharing operational experiences and to present important ongoing pipeline projects.  It also aims to integrate companies that act in different segments of the pipeline industry: operation, construction, engineering, research and development, training and equipment suppliers.

The Rio Pipeline has grown in number of exhibitors and members of Congress, with outstanding international participation, and this edition of 2013 promises numbers even more significant, with  a potential growth of the area. New technological challenges and the raising of the demand for goods and services of the pipeline industry are among the main subjects approached in the event.
