In 1983, the Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium, in conjunction with LSU Continuing Education, was established to offer the Oil and Gas Industry a conference of technical and hands-on training as well as industry discussions and presentations. The GSRMS mission is to lead the compression and rotating machinery industry to excellence by providing a high quality forum for technology and information sharing and experience exchanges. Along with training, industry leaders exhibit and demonstrate innovations in training and product development for today and the future.
