CARY, N.C. – The pure energy, innovation and quality of the air and liquid filtration segment of the nonwovens industry will be unleashed for participants at INDA’s 26th Filtration International Conference & Exposition this fall at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

 

With a new earlier date of October 10-12, Filtration 2017 is expected to surpass the huge turnout last November for its 25th anniversary edition of more than 1,300 participants in Philadelphia. Registration has opened and the Filtration 2017 website has launched at www.inda.org/events/filt17.

 

The powerful combination of leading-edge products and applications, technical advances, networking, top speakers, plus education and training – all entirely focused on the growing filtration segment – continues to deliver strong value for leading suppliers and customers of filtration media and components who exhibit and attend Filtration 2017.

 

Filtration 2017 will be highlighted by exciting program additions on the Industrial Internet of Things, a panel discussion on ISO 16890 standards and a luncheon keynote address on the attractiveness of the industry that is driving consolidation.

 

INDA will again hold its one-and-a-half day acclaimed Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course prior to the expositions start on October 10-11.
