And thanks for the kind words! And, of course, it is great having P&S at our event, or any time. You are right on! We, the leading pump people, could be much better, if we reached out to the broader business community, the heart and soul of our industry. That is what our Symposium is all about. Over just a few years, thousands of our friends have invested a day with us, enthusiastically making a difference. It is very rewarding, as you can imagine. I am thrilled with my organization. I know we are indeed making a difference, starting with every person being engaged in our collective goals and recognizing that it is contagious- you'all know what I mean! Greetings from Geiger!

It was the very first I'd been to as an attendee. It was nice to see all the familiar faces as well as the new ones. If anyone thinks this symposium is just another vendor sales gimmick, they are sadly mistaken. This was quality hands-on training by people who know their stuff and will find you the answer if they don't know it. Whether you're new to a job where pumps and process equipment are involved, or if you've been working with this stuff your entire life, you'll get something good out of it. Great training, great food, great cold "beverages", great people. One thing I noticed that I haven't noticed at other symposiums or expos was the computer area which was set up for attendees to check in with the office, check email, etc. I thought that was a nice touch. Also, now that I'm disabled, I couldn't help but notice how conveniently everything was located, and how helpful the staff was to make sure my needs (as well as everyone else's) were met. I really appreciate that. Thanks to the staff for a worth while day "at the office". This was the first time I’d been to the Mid-Atlantic Pump & Process Equipment Symposium in a while.
