2017 Annual Conference Registration Now Open

Every so often, a truly special industry event hits the calendar. The NFPA 2017 Annual Conference is one of those events. Scheduled for February 8-10, 2017, at the Ritz Kapalua on the island of Maui, the 2017 conference will bring together renowned speakers, industry leaders, and the beauty of Hawaii.

Conference registration is now open. Attendees will hear from two powerhouse speakers who are among the best thought leaders in business today. One is a true manufacturing revolutionary and the other a true icon of business leadership. And if that weren’t enough, we’ve added perhaps the most entertaining and informed economist we know to help sort out what to expect after this tumultuous year:

• John (Jay) B. Rogers, Jr., CEO & co-founder of Local Motors. Local Motors can only be categorized as a wildly successful disruptive company. This is a unique opportunity to hear about the next industrial revolution from a truly dynamic individual.
• Ram Charan, noted author, business leader, and innovation expert. What more can be said about someone who has coached dozens of leaders in every business sector and written 15 books that have sold over 2 million copies? Come prepared to listen and learn.
• Alan Beaulieu, president, Institute for Trend Research. Alan knows our group and our industry, and has forecasted fluid power markets’ performance through ups and downs. Alan never fails to entertain and inform.
