What's Happening?
The Pumps & Valves Innovation Conference (PVIC) is set to take place on November 2-3, 2026, at the LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, and Technology in Pasadena, Texas. Co-produced by Empowering Pumps & Equipment and Gulf Energy Information,
this two-day event will cater to engineers, plant operators, and suppliers in the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, and water industries. PVIC aims to provide a vendor-neutral platform for technical learning, featuring expert keynotes, peer-led sessions, and hands-on workshops. The conference will focus on engineering, technology, and leadership, offering a unique opportunity for professionals to engage in meaningful learning and networking.
Why It's Important?
PVIC represents a significant opportunity for professionals in the flow systems sector to enhance their technical knowledge and skills. By bringing together experts from various industries, the conference fosters cross-sector collaboration and innovation. The event's focus on technical rigor and hands-on learning addresses a gap in the industry, where professionals often attend sector-specific events without the opportunity for broader engagement. This initiative is crucial for advancing industry standards and practices, ultimately benefiting the efficiency and safety of operations in critical sectors like oil and gas and water management.
