Calling all Pump Industry Leaders of Tomorrow (PILOTs)JOIN US FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL PILOT PROGRAM AT THE 2017 HYDRAULIC INSTITUTE FALL CONFERENCE

I felt the PILOT program was extremely worthwhile to attend. It gives attendees not only the oppor-tunity to understand the functions of the Hydraulic Institute, but to quickly become contributors. It can take years before new members of an organization can truly feel a part of the group, the PILOT program helps jump start that process. - Michael Myers, Global Business Manager, Baldor Electric Company

As an engineer for a pump company, I think this program is extremely valuable to learn from a variety of industry experts. It explains how the industry works holistically rather than just how my product works within the industry. - Christopher Davidson, Project Engineer, Weir Floway

Here’s what our 2016 PILOTs said about their experience:
