INDA unveils plans for Filtration international expo 2018

INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, that serves hundreds of member companies in the nonwovens/engineered fabrics industry in global commerce, has announced new plans for its largest-ever event, an expanded Filtration International Conference & Exposition, which will be held from February 25 to 27, 2020, in Navy Pier in Chicago, US.

INDA announced various enhancements to further energise the powerful event. The Filtration International Conference & Exposition will be held every 18 months, instead of once a year, for greater appeal to the global market and complement the timing of the major European filtration event. This means that after Filtration 2018 in Philadelphia, to be held from October 2 to 4, 2018, there will be no Filtration expo in the fall of 2019, as it will jump to February 2020.

The event will be held exclusively at the Navy Pier in Chicago rather than rotating locations. Filtration expo will expand its focus beyond nonwovens and fully embrace the broad cross section of engineered media, filtration & separation technologies, filter making equipment, and other equipment related to the manufacture, testing, and monitoring of filters and their environment.

More than 1,400 attendees and 140-plus exhibitors attended Filtration 2017 and INDA is expecting another strong turnout across all industry segments for Filtration 2018 at the Pennsylvania convention centre in Philadelphia. Online registration is now open at http://www.inda.org/events/filt18/.

Both the 2018 and the 2020 Filtration expos will provide valuable conference and educational program content and create a vibrant forum for exhibitors to highlight innovative products and services serving all filtration sectors and to create business connections on the exposition floor. The one-and-a-half day acclaimed Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course prior to the exposition will be offered at the 2018 Filtration expo.

INDA president Dave Rousse said, “We are expanding our vision for the future of our important Filtration expo by providing industry participants from around the world with great new potential to exhibit, learn and meet with others in the industry at a global event in North America. We believe these changes will position this event as a “must attend” for global filtration industry companies needing a focal point in North America. While filtration is a part of many industry shows, there is no other show in the US dedicated exclusively to filtration. Filtration expo will appeal across a broader spectrum of the filtration market, going beyond nonwoven media.” (GK)
