Middle East Corrosion Conference & Exhibition (MECC) in Saudi Arabia: the key event for corrosion, asset and material integrity

The Middle East Corrosion Conference & Exhibition (MECC) is one of the region’s most influential gatherings for corrosion, coatings, asset integrity and materials performance professionals. With a history dating back to 1979, MECC has established itself as a biennial event where industry leaders, technical specialists, manufacturers and solution providers converge to share advances, case studies and trends that directly impact sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, energy, water and heavy industry.

According to information published by organizers and partners, the most recent publicly announced edition was held November 11-13 at Dhahran Expo (Dammam, Eastern Region), Saudi Arabia, a venue renowned for hosting major exhibitions and congresses in the Kingdom. Over three days, the event combines a technical program with high-level sessions, workshops and a commercial exhibition where companies present technologies, products and services aimed at corrosion mitigation.

MECC stands out for putting on the agenda topics of high industrial priority, such as Digital Transformation applied to corrosion management and the rise of Advanced Materials, in addition to opening spaces for debate on innovation, reliability and strategies to extend the useful life of critical assets. In recent editions, the participation of figures such as Alan Thomas (CEO of AMPP), Ahmad Al-Khowaiter (Aramco) and Prof. Sir Konstantin Novoselov (Nobel Prize in Physics) have been announced as part of the featured program.

Important (for 2026): to date, verifiable public sources show detailed information for the announced 2025 edition; if the 2026 edition maintains different dates/agenda, it is safest to confirm the update directly on the official site.
