Virtual Delivery
Registration Opening Soon

NFPA’s Industry & Economic Outlook Conference (IEOC) is an annual event for fluid power supply chain professionals and this year it’s more accessible than ever before. Split into three virtual half-day sessions on August 11-13; the 2020 IEOC will offer members the opportunity to get exclusive economic insights without having to leave the office. Registration for the conference will open mid-June.

Industry experts will share the analyses, hard data, and critical insights fluid power business leaders need to translate economic trends into competitive intelligence and successfully plan for the future. Conference content will give attendees a deeper understanding of the global economic landscape as it relates to fluid power, insights into where the fluid power industry and key customer markets are headed, as well as niche forecasts in the mobile and industrial breakout sessions.
