At IFPE 2011, the 52nd National Conference on Fluid Power will be the cornerstone of expanded education. The conference focus is on new technologies and methodologies within the fluid power industry related to improved analysis, design, manufacturing and performance of fluid power components and systems for mobile and industrial markets. Proceedings will be published and available at the conference. Pre-registration is $75 or on-site registration is $85.
The conference includes new sessions from the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, and additional education sessions are being provided by the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers. IFPE 2011 will also feature an Innovations Theater on the show floor, where experts in the field will present real-world solutions for current and future design applications. And the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power is also co-locating its annual meeting with IFPE 2011.
