The British Pump Manufacturers Association (BPMA), on behalf of Europump, has the pleasure of welcoming you to the Royal Borough of Windsor in the UK for the 27th staging of its Annual Meeting and General Assembly.
Held at the spectacular De Vere Beaumont Estate, situated close to the famous Windsor Castle, and set within its own 42-acres of glorious parkland, this venue provides a fantastic backdrop to this important annual gathering for the European pump sector.
Sponsored by WEG, a keen supporter of both BPMA and Europump, the event will be held from 22nd-24th May 2024. It will offer a coordinated mix of top flight pump based presentations and discussions, along with a series of engaging social activities, all of which have been designed to deliver optimum levels of information, interaction, and enjoyment for all those in attendance.

Lubos Michlik, Europump President
On behalf of Europump's Executive Council, Commissions and Secretariat, I have the great pleasure of inviting you and your colleagues to the 2024 Annual Meeting. Hosted by our friends at the British Pump Manufacturers Association, and supported by WEG, a great deal of effort has been put into producing an informative and productive series of meetings, all of which will focus on the key issues facing the pump sector now and into the future. Our commission meetings will deliver important updates on the activities of our various working groups, and will be underpinned by a range of highly appropriate talks and presentations, before culminating with our General Assembly. A wonderful social programme is also planned, taking full advantage of the superb location, making this a must attend event.
Wayne Rose,
BPMA Director and CEO
It's been 10 years since the BPMA last had the honour of hosting Europump's Annual Meeting, when it was held at the famous St Andrew's in Scotland. That location was incredibly well received by all those in attendance, and allowed for a fantastic social programme to accompany the business meetings. A decade on, and we are again delighted to be hosting the Annual Meeting at another world famous location. Home to the recently crowned King Charles and Queen Camilla, Windsor provides a breath-taking backdrop to this important gathering for the European pump industry, and the impressive Beaumont Estate offers an unrivalled environment for both business and social interaction. On behalf of the BPMA, and all its Members, I look forward to welcoming you to the event in May 2024.
Marek Lukaszczyk, WEG European Marketing Manager
WEG is honoured to once again be sponsoring this important gathering for the European pump sector and to help facilitate the delivery of such a strong programme. The pump industry, in all its facets, continues to be a crucial business sector for WEG and its motor, drive and asset management systems technology, which support many of the world's most important pump installations. As a long standing supporter of both the BPMA and Europump, it was an easy decision to repeat the support and backing given to the 2014 Annual Meeting, when it was last staged in the UK. WEG remains totally committed to further developing its relationship with pump manufacturers across the globe, and we see the 2024 Europump Annual Meeting as a way of endorsing that universal commitment.
