Flowserve to Host Second Annual Destination Innovation Virtual Event

DALLAS, July 12, 2022 - Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today announced it will host Destination Innovation 2022, its second annual virtual expo, with three dates to maximize engagement with global attendees.

With this year’s theme of “Diversifying, Decarbonizing and Digitizing Flow Control,” the event will focus on how Flowserve is supporting its customers’ energy transition and sustainability goals through its Diversification, Decarbonization and Digitization strategy.

The main event will take place on Wednesday, July 27 at 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CDT) with events targeted for the Asia Pacific region on Wednesday, August 17 and Europe on Wednesday, September 14.

The virtual expo will feature messages on different technologies such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, carbon capture and vacuum — which offer cleaner, more sustainable options for a low-carbon future. Also showcased will be RedRaven, Flowserve’s comprehensive internet of things (IoT) solution, which is digitizing flow control and helping customers avoid costly, unplanned downtime and equipment repairs.

Attendees will have several options to choose from and can personalize their experience for the free four-hour virtual event, selecting which featured talks and breakout sessions matter the most to them. Topics will include technology solutions, 3D strategies, and emerging technologies. Those in attendance will gain valuable knowledge from distinguished industry experts and can look forward to the following:

  • 10 Featured Talks, from Flowserve leaders as well as experts from Rice University and Microsoft.
  • 21 Technical Sessions, including topics on pumps, valves, seals, IoT, education, and innovation.
  • A golden opportunity to chat with the subject matter experts one-on-one.

“Energy transition is more important now than perhaps ever before. It impacts the way we think about our future, as well as the markets and industries as we know them,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve president and chief executive officer. “We are excited to connect with attendees of Destination Innovation 2022 to further expand on the ways we’re continuing to support our customers in reaching their carbon reduction and sustainability goals.”

This free event will have live talks and on-demand sessions that are accessible via desktop, mobile and tablet devices.
