The Houston Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia began as a 200-person Turbomachinery Symposium on the campus of Texas A&M University in 1972. The Pump Symposium was founded in 1984 and joined with Turbo for a singular event in 2011. The Asia Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium is an extension of the longstanding Houston Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia.Flip through the History brochure (click the brochure cover) to learn more about our beginnings.
