Motion, Drives & Automation Conference at IMTS 2012

May 11, 2012

Registration just went live this week for our latest conference venture. H&P, and all of Penton Media's Design Engineering Group, is partnering with the NFPA to bring new technical conference topics to IMTS, which is slated for Chicago's McCormick Place September 10-15. Our conferences, called the Motion, Drives & Automation Conference, will be broken down into tracks — Hydraulics & Pneumatics in Automation, and Motion Control in Automation — will be presented Sept. 10 and 11.

This is our first venture into a conference of this type, but with focuses on closed-loop position and force control, energy efficiency, contamination, noise, and pneumatics, and more, we're confident most attendees will find something they can use in their everyday jobs.

This will be the third conference we present, in addition to our three Fluid Power Conference & Expos in Las Vegas (earlier this month), Minnesota (next month) and Charlotte later this year. Hope to see you at one of them!

A complete conference schedule and registration details can be found on our events page. Register now! September will be here before know it!
