NFPA Announces Plans for 2021 Conference

The National Fluid Power Association annual conference is scheduled for Feb. 24-26, 2021. The conference will occur virtually and includes an in-person networking event in Phoenix.

At the same time the conference is taking place online, NFPA will sponsor an optional in-person meeting called the Power of Association Event at Phoenix’s Arizona Biltmore. Attendees at the Biltmore will be able to watch conference presentations and interact with speakers from their hotel rooms each morning, come together for networking lunches and receptions, and gather informally at the property, which includes an on-site golf course. The Power of Association Event will be carefully managed to adhere to the latest COVID-19 regulations.

The online event won’t lack interactivity, NFPA said, thanks to an innovative online platform it calls “one of the most unique and effective virtual event experiences available.”

The conference will include morning sessions that feature a forecast by Alan Beaulieu of ITR Economics, presentations by past favorite Peter Zeihan on geopolitics, and Harry Kraemer of the Kellogg School of Management on leading in disruptive times. Attendees will interact with the presenters and can also participate in virtual networking sessions and committee meetings each afternoon. 

Registration for the conference will open later in November, NFPA said.
