VMA is a trusted source for industry and end-user business intelligence, education, government relations, business connections, workforce development and more.

The Valve Forum and Market Outlook Workshop provide great, relevant content (whether in-person or virtual). The industry networking opportunities from these events are also excellent.

With the need for industry education so pervasive, the VMA jumped in a decade ago and helped develop a really good product—the Valve Basics program—for educating young engineers and young salespeople about valves.

The annual VMA Market Outlook Workshop is an excellent opportunity to gain insights into trends in the key markets we serve with our valve products. The range of industries covered provides a good background to assist our company in planning for the upcoming year and into the future.

VMA provides a unique platform for valve manufacturers and suppliers to enhance their respective businesses by delivering one industry voice, sharing best practices and knowledge, and attracting and developing talent for the valve industry. 

We joined this wonderful organization for the resources it provides to a company like ours. VMA has a reputation of keeping the members informed on the latest industry developments, and the networking with valve industry companies, large and small is incredible.

We have found the Valve Basics course extremely useful and make sure that all new inside sales engineers attend the 101 course. Though I've been in this industry for 15 years I  learned quite a lot from the 201 class.

VMA does a great job providing current educational topics and integrated plant tours that are valued by my colleagues and myself. We look forward to attending these every year.
