The International Conference on Conveying and Handling of Particulate Solids (CHoPS) is the leading global forum for researchers, engineers, and industry experts working with particle technology, bulk solids handling, and granular flow systems. First launched in 1995, CHoPS has travelled the world - from the UK to South Africa, Israel to Brazil - and in 2027, it will take place in the Netherlands for the first time, hosted at TU Delft.
CHoPS offers a unique opportunity to bridge theory and application in an open, international setting. Whether you work in research, operations, safety, or equipment development, you'll find a like-minded and forward-looking community at CHoPS 2027.
