This month, Pumps & Systems wrapped up our busy 2008 trade show schedule with a visit to Orlando for Power Gen International. It was a great show. More than 17,000 industry professionals from 76 countries were expected to visit the exhibit hall that featured more than 1,200 companies.
Pumps & Systems strives to stay on the forefront of industry trends, topics and technology. We attend more tradeshows than any other pump-related magazine, which provides us direct insight into our coverage of a myriad of applications. In 2008, our publication was represented at 14 trade shows, distributing about 5,600 magazines in addition to our monthly circulation of 42,500-plus.
In 2009, our industry presence grows even stronger. Look for P&S at 20 trade shows this year, covering the entire United States with international stops in India and Germany.
Next month, we release our annual “State of the Industry” report featuring Executive Insights from many top-level industry leaders. Nowhere else can you find a more complete and expert account of what to expect next year.
As the leading voice in the pump and rotating equipment industry, P&S will expand our coverage in 2009 of ongoing issues such as maintenance, reliability and energy efficiency while also attacking subjects like aging infrastructure, installation issues, advancements as well as the future of instrumentation, aftermarket and other topical and critical industry issues important to our readers. Our ongoing coverage continues to focus on pumps, the entire system and all its components.
We constantly look for ways to improve Pumps & Systems, with the needs of our readers as the key motivator. As we enhance our print coverage, we make tremendous efforts to improve our exposure online through www.pump-zone.com. We launched a Live Webinar Series and have industry experts contribute blogs. This year, look for an expanded social networking community.
Through our print and digital magazine editions, Pumps & Systems is now read in 113 countries—covering six continents—and our readership grows every day.
As you can probably tell, we are excited about 2009 and all its possibilities. Let us know what you would like to see in Pumps & Systems.
