Dear valve industry peers ,
In the 20 years that I have participated in VW conferences , I have always appreciated their excellent level of technical content , but also the quality of exchanges .
The world is changing . We see these changes most clearly in the world of energy , but the need for valves remains . The valve industry must adapt and face many challenges . New players are emerging , as well as new needs , such as a very high demand for cost reduction .
The Valve World conference is a unique place of exchange between end users , manufacturers , and engineers . This year , the topics will revolve around the three highlights : energy transition , standardisation and digitalisation .
I would like to invite and encourage all of you in the valve industry to send in your abstracts and ideas and think of suitable topics that are important to you .
