Unbiased. Unabated. Unrivaled.

Building on a decade of successful conferences—prepared by leading industry experts, attended by hundreds of professionals, and with the support of regulatory and governmental agencies—ISA’s 11th Annual LDAR Symposium is a "must-attend"!

Register today for industry's premier LDAR event in the "Big Easy."

ISA’s LDAR Symposium has over the past decade become the air compliance industry’s only conference whose sole purpose is to share best practices for Leak Detection And Repair and Directed Inspection and Maintenance programs and it's easy to see why:

  • It's THE conference that offers the insight and networking you need to make sure you comply with regulatory issues and stay current on your LDAR programs
  • It's THE place to share best-practices, learn from others perhaps costly mistakes, and to network with representatives from regulatory agencies for an opportunity to find out what's in the pipeline.

The 11th Annual Fugitive Emissions and LDAR Symposium will, once again, be more than informative—it will deliver a high return on investment for attendees and the companies they represent.

Reasons why  ISA's LDAR Symposium is a must-attend event for anyone in the LDAR community:

  • Regulatory agencies use this forum to announce upcoming changes to compliance requirements, and to share findings from recent enforcement actions
  • Industry peers present their experiences and best practices
  • Suppliers make major announcements and unveil new product releases
  • Many opportunities for hands-on product demonstrations
  • Between sessions, attendees network and share their experiences in a relaxed atmosphere

Who attends?

  • LDAR Program Administrators
  • LDAR Coordinators and Supervisors
  • Air Compliance and Maintenance Managers
  • Environmental and Reliability Engineers
  • Consultants
  • Monitoring Services Contractors
  • And other vendors who provide products or services to the LDAR community

Emissions Reduction Technology Forum
The EPA is using available tools in the Leak Detection And Repair work practice to reduce and prevent leaks, specifically fugitive emissions. Federal regulators are now using Enhanced LDAR Programs (ELP) in Consent Decrees to require equipment upgrades to low-leak technology which will lead to a reduction in fugitive emissions. Join this popular forum that brings together veterans from both sides of the table, industry and government and offers an informative examination of two low-leak technologies for valves. Each 40-minute session will feature a technology presentation followed by questions from an expert panel of end-users, sealing professionals, and the EPA.
