Why is this event important?
The inspection industry is coming home. The ASNT 2026 Annual Conference will be held in Columbus, Ohio, the world headquarters of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, October 12-15, 2026. Under the theme “Together We Lead,” this event is the must-attend summit for professionals looking to lead the transition to NDE 4.0 and digital asset integrity.
