iVT EXPO 2025

August 20-21, 2025 - Chicago, IL

iVT EXPO is an annual exposition for the off-highway vehicle design and engineering community, which first took place in the United States in 2022. The event is focused on all types of industrial and off-highway vehicles, with exhibits that are highly focused on a number of key technologies, including new powertrains, electric and hybrid systems, control systems, sensors, and autonomous technologies. With hydraulics serving as a key enabling technology for these vehicles and many of these systems, iVT EXPO offers an ideal platform for growth and expansion of hydraulics, both in its affiliated education program and on its show floor.

NFPA will be hosting a hydraulics technology conference at the show, and we are seeking proposals. Learn more in this article.

CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2026

March 3-7, 2026 - Las Vegas, NV

The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) will convene and co-locate an advanced hydraulics conference for off-highway vehicle and other fluid power engineers at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, to be held March 3-7, 2026, in Las Vegas, NV.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the international gathering place every three years for the construction industries, focusing on construction, aggregates, and ready-mixed concrete. The event features exhibits of the latest technologies and innovations in equipment, products, and services. It also offers a comprehensive education program during the five-day exposition, with seminars for the owners and operators of heavy equipment that emphasize industry issues and trends, management, and applied technologies.

NFPA will plan and deliver a two-day conference, running in parallel with the trade show, that will offer off-highway vehicle and other fluid power engineers with information on the latest advances in hydraulic technology. Some of the sessions envisioned for the program will focus on:

  • Hydraulic system designs, architectures, and products optimized for performance on off-highway vehicles with electrified powertrains
  • Thermal management strategies for hydraulicly-actuated, electrified off-highway vehicles
  • Improvements in hydraulic system efficiency, especially those that help to increase battery life on electrified off-highway vehicles
  • Strategies for reducing the volume and harshness of hydraulic noise on electrified off-highway vehicles
  • Hydraulic data collection and utilization strategies that provide system or machine-level performance improvements
  • Hydraulic systems that operate in partial or fully autonomous modes
  • Cutting-edge research innovations that may change the use or application of fluid power technologies

In addition to delivering this innovative program, NFPA is also promoting CONEXPO-CON/AGG to NFPA members and encouraging them to exhibit on the show floor. β€œNFPA member companies represent the cutting-edge technologies that vehicle engineers increasingly need to incorporate into their machine systems and designs,” said NFPA President/CEO Eric Lanke. β€œAnd they will be heavily represented as presenters in our education conference. Combining that technical content with hands-on demonstrations of their technologies on the CONEXPO show floor will provide a unique educational experience for their primary customers.”

A call for presentations for the hydraulics conference will be circulated later in 2025. For more information, contact elanke@nfpa.com.
