Rio Pipeline & Logistics 2025 Set for Historic Edition with Largest Exhibition Area, New Strategic Topics, and Presence of Top Executives
Ticket sales for Rio Pipeline & Logistics 2025 are now open, with the third batch available on the official website. The event, one of the most important international meetings dedicated to the oil & gas pipeline and logistics chain, will take place from September 9 to 11 at ExpoRio Cidade Nova in Rio de Janeiro. With a 50% increase in exhibition space, this will be the largest edition ever held, bringing together over 60 exhibiting companies and marking the return of the traditional Canada Pavilion.
This year, the conference program has been expanded to include new topics such as Ports & Terminals, Multimodal Integration, Energy Transition, Biofuels & Decarbonization, and Digital Transformation, reflecting the main challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
Confirmed executives include: Jorge Roberto Abrahão Hijjar (Commercial Director at TBG), Erick Portela Pettendorfer (CEO of NTS), Tomaz Guadagnin (CEO of TAG), Marcio Guimarães Costa (Pipelines and Terminals Director at Transpetro), Flavia Takafashi (Director at ANTT), Victor Snabaitis Bomfim (CEO of VAST), Adrianno Lorenzon (Natural Gas Director at Abrace), Carlos Kopittke (President of ABTL), Walter Farioli (General Director of TSB), Rogério Manso (President of Atgas), Ingrid Valeriano (Raia Gas Export Pipeline Engineering Lead at Equinor), Marcelo Bragança (Vice President at Vibra Energia), Cliff Johnson (President of PRCI – Pipeline Research Council International), and Claudio Schlosser (Executive Director of Logistics, Marketing and Trading at Petrobras).
The participation of these executives underscores the strategic relevance of the event as a key forum for technical, regulatory, and business discussions in the pipeline and logistics infrastructure sector. Their joint presence represents different links in the value chain—from energy planning and regulation to operations and technological innovation—contributing to a stronger investment environment and promoting integrated solutions in natural gas, oil, and fuels, both in Brazil and globally.
