The 26th International Galvanizing Conference was held at the Rome Marriott Park Hotel, Italy from 20-24 June 2022. The Intergalva 2022 conference programme was developed in response to the significant challenges faced by the galvanizing industry in energy supply and the future decarbonisation of operations. The importance of batch galvanized steel to achieving society’s net-zero goals and achieving greater circularity was also explored.

The event includes a major exhibition of plant, equipment, process chemicals and other services. Intergalva 2022 was organised by European General Galvanizers Association (EGGA) and hosted by Associazione Italiana Zincatura (AIZ). The Intergalva series began in 1950 and will next be held in the Benelux in 2024.
