If you’re unable to commit yourself to the 52nd National Conference on Fluid Power, but would still like to have some questions answered, the Innovations Theater may be the solution. This new education opportunity will occur on the IFPE show floor, held on the west end of the South Hall, second level, during show hours.
The IFPE 2011 Innovations Theater will feature 14 sessions that are free for all registered IFPE and CONEXPO-CON/AGG attendees. Experts in their respective fields will present real-world solutions for current and future design applications. The sessions will run Tuesday through Friday during regular exhibit hall hours.
