The Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia (TPS) is the premier training and networking opportunity for professionals in pump, turbomachinery, and related industries. TPS 2024 will be held August 19-22, 2024 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. The annual event combines a world-class program with a cutting-edge exhibit hall. Last year’s event attracted more than 4,900 people and 323 exhibiting companies from 53 countries. The Symposia is organized by the Turbomachinery Laboratory, part of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and The Texas A&M University System.

The Turbomachinery Laboratory conducts basic and applied research into important problems of reliability and performance of turbomachinery — rotating machinery that extracts or adds energy to fluids. That’s everything from classic Dutch windmills to the space shuttle’s main engine turbopumps and compressors that move natural gas through the distribution system.
Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
