Fluid power community regaining momentum in October

The 12th International Fluid Power Conference will take place at the International Congress Center in Dresden, Germany, from 12 to 14 October 2020, representing one of the most important international exchange platform of science, research and industry in the field of fluid power drives.

More than 12 eventful weeks have passed since the IFK team decided to postpone the 12th IFK to October 12–14. Restrictions on contact and business activities as well as countless other measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 have dictated and continue to dictate our everyday life and professional life. The impact of the virus was not foreseeable at the time of the postponement decision, yet it confirmed the organizers’ actions with the benefit of hindsight.

The full scheduled program will remain

The meantime was intensively used to resolve the organizational difficulties that inevitably evolved through the postponement of the conference. It is therefore a great pleasure for the IFK organizing team that the scheduled program with more than 100 international technical papers on current developments and novel applications in the field of fluid power can remain in its entirety. Moreover, the authors have explicitly been given all the freedom to expand their articles with additional findings that have been generated in the meantime. This is a great benefit and will help the participants to gain a deeper insight into the ongoing developments.

Alongside the conference, the trade remains a great possibility to get informed about the latest innovative products, system solutions and developments of different exhibitors. Exhibitors who are potentially interested can still register for a booth.
