We are a community built around Rotating equipment and the people who care for it

Rotating equipment performs because dedicated professionals stand behind it: The engineers who design it, the operators who rely on it, and the maintenance professionals who keep it running. Through Technical Sessions, conferences, and industry events, we create spaces where real learning happens and meaningful connections form. Welcome to the RATPACK.

Our Core Activities

Technical sessions

Our Technical Sessions, held five times a year in Edmonton and Calgary bring together experts, operators, and enthusiasts to share real‑world knowledge that strengthens equipment reliability and performance. Expect practical case studies, and new technology highlights, directly from industry leaders. Perfect for professionals at any stage looking to sharpen their skills and stay ahead of the curve.
