The American School of Gas Measurement Technology (ASGMT) has never turned its back on change since its founding in 1966. Instead, it has consistently embraced progress and pursued new ways to strengthen our industry and support the development of our students. This year is no exception. After 25 years at our previous venue, ASGMT has proudly relocated to The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. This move underscores our continued commitment to remaining at the forefront of industry evolution and delivering the highest‑quality experience for our students and the broader measurement community.
