MegaRust 2027

June 8–10, 2027

Hampton Roads Convention Center, Hampton, VA

About MegaRust

MegaRust is scheduled for June 8-10, 2027 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, Hampton, VA! MegaRust is conducted annually to provide a consolidated focus on Navy corrosion issues. Corrosion is a major factor in the readiness and total ownership cost of naval systems and this conference is intended to provide updated information on programs, policies, standards and Fleet experience related to corrosion and to promote discussion and sharing of information on technologies and strategies for controlling corrosion. The conference provides an impartial forum for dialogue between government and commercial organizations, and providers of coatings and corrosion control products, processes, technologies and solutions. Participants include representatives from military, industry, and government organizations involved with research and development, design, engineering, construction, maintenance, modernization and operation of naval systems that are potentially affected by corrosion. The conference covers all segments of the naval services including sea, air, Marine Corps, vehicles, and facilities.

 

The American Society of Naval Engineers does not rent, sell, or provide ASNE symposia or event attendee lists to potential exhibitor/sponsor, or any third party organizations. In addition, if you are contacted by a person or organization stating they have information with respect to ASNE attendance lists - please report the name/organization to the ASNE Chief Executive Officer at CEO@navalengineers.org.
