Catch Us in the Lone Star State at the PBS Texas Conference

The Powder & Bulk Solids Texas Conference (PBS TX Conference), organized by Informa Markets Engineering, is a two-day technical event focused on bringing vital education to engineers in the bulk materials and processing industry.

The new conference (Sept. 10-11, 2024, at the Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria in Houston) will deliver critical knowledge by industry experts and offer exclusive networking opportunities in the Southwest region.

As a complement to the biennial International Powder and Bulk Solids event in Rosemont, IL, the Texas conference will provide educational content to processing engineers in the petrochemical, cement, building materials, and plastics, as well as the food and beverage industry. Sessions will be useful for both seasoned professionals and newcomers.

"The PBS Texas Conference will present an opportunity for technical education and training to support the development of processing professionals leading engineering innovation in Texas. Conference attendees will be able to learn from leading industry experts as well as build important relationships with peers over the course of the two-day event," said Melissa Magestro, VP Group Portfolio Leader, Informa Markets Engineering.

Attendees can:

Texas is home to the largest plastic manufacturer in the world — ExxonMobil — and ranks in the top three states for food and beverage processing plants, is number one in the US for cement production, and has the highest concentration of chemical engineers in the US. The Houston metropolitan area comprises the largest petrochemical manufacturing in the world, including synthetic rubber, insecticides, and fertilizers.

"Engaging our advanced network of speakers, academic leaders and association partners, the Houston conference will provide a unique opportunity for industry professionals to gain access to valuable and essential education each year, in the region's most appropriate accessible hub for powder bulk solid processing needs," Steve Everly, Group Event Director, Informa Markets Engineering said.

"Innovation throughout the region continues to expand and we are confident that our positioning in Houston advances growth and opportunity while also serving as an expansion of our portfolio of events in Montréal, Toronto, Chicago, and Charlotte," he added.
