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 aims to bring together engineers, plant operators, and suppliers from the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, and water industries. PVIC will feature a technical program with tracks on Engineering, Technology, and Leadership, offering expert keynotes, peer-led sessions, and hands-on workshops. The conference is designed to provide a vendor-neutral environment focused on technical learning rather than sales pitches.
Why It's Important?
PVIC represents a significant opportunity for professionals in the flow systems sector to engage in technical learning and networking. By focusing on pumps and valves, the conference addresses a critical aspect of engineering across multiple industries, promoting cross-sector collaboration and innovation. The event's emphasis on hands-on workshops and peer-led sessions is expected to enhance practical skills and knowledge, potentially leading to improved operational efficiencies and technological advancements. This initiative also highlights the importance of continuous professional development in maintaining competitive and sustainable industry practices.
