The Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia (TPS) serves as the premier training and networking opportunity for rotating equipment professionals in pump, turbomachinery, aerospace, and other related industries. TPS 2025 will be held September 16-18, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. The annual event combines a world-class program with an international exhibit hall. Last year’s event attracted more than 4,700 people and over 300 exhibiting companies from 48 countries.
The Symposia’s technical program, presented by engineers and hand-selected by an advisory committee of industry experts, includes topics such as maintenance, design, and troubleshooting, as well as short case studies describing in-the-field problems and their real-world solutions. A cutting-edge exhibit hall hosts hundreds of leading companies from the oil and gas, petrochemical, power, pump, and turbomachinery industries. Companies display full-size equipment and present advancements in technology and emerging industry trends. Finally, countless networking opportunities pervade the event, making TPS 2025 an event you can’t afford to miss.
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.
Organizer
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.
