NFPA’S 2015 IEOC Breaks Attendance Record

NFPA’s 2015 Industry & Economic Outlook Conference (IEOC), held August 10-12, 2015 at the Westin Chicago North Shore, Wheeling, Ill., exemplified the importance of economics, industry, technology, and networking with an excellent line-up of speakers and another record-breaking attendance of 322 individuals. Members and non-members alike received valuable insights into the future for the fluid power supply chain. Their feedback identified the diverse speaker and topic content, exposure to global market information, and multiple networking opportunities as highlights of this year’s IEOC.

NFPA’s 2015 IEOC Invitational Golf Tournament filled Chevy Chase Country Club with 115 golfers, marking the 9th year of this fundraising event. A few raindrops and even a lightning delay did not keep this group from having a great time. A record number of sponsors and 50/50 raffle sales marked a solid return for NFPA’s Education and Technology Foundation.

Next year’s 2016 Industry & Economic Outlook Conference and IEOC Invitational Tournament is scheduled for August 15-17, 2016 at the Westin Chicago North Shore and Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, Ill.
