For the first time, the Hydraulic Institute (HI) will co-locate its 2017 Fall Conference with the Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) Fall Meeting. The event will take place at the Renaissance Worthington in Fort Worth, Texas, October 23-26, 2017. The co-location is designed in part to help HI celebrate its centennial, according to the organization.
“We were looking at ways of bringing the community together to recognize this milestone,” says Michael Michaud, executive director of the Hydraulic Institute. “By co-locating these two events, we are able to and add considerable value to each organization’s meetings through the shared general sessions and expanded networking and social program.”
Peter Lance, executive director of the Fluid Sealing Association, notes, “We are always looking for ways to collaborate with other organizations to bring more value to members, and this will provide an excellent opportunity for members to be exposed to enhanced content, while connecting with a broader group of industry peers.”
