Spots are still available for the NFPA Advanced Hydraulics Conference for off-highway vehicle and fluid power engineers in conjunction with CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, the largest construction equipment show in North America.
Designed for off-highway vehicle and fluid power engineers, the conference will feature in-depth technical sessions led by industry experts. Programming runs from 9:00-11:00 AM and 1:00-3:00 PM each day, highlighting the latest hydraulic technologies, applications, and innovations shaping the future of off-highway equipment.
One of the featured highlights will be a live recording of Fluid Power Forum Podcast from 2:30–3:00 PM:
Is That Hydraulics? The Accelerating Pace of Technology Change in the Fluid Power Industry
Moderated by Eric Lanke, President and CEO of NFPA, this thought-provoking panel will explore how electrification, once seen as a threat to hydraulics, is actually driving rapid innovation across mobile equipment.
Panelists include:
-
Barun Acharya, Parker Hannifin
-
Joe Budden, Danfoss Power Solutions
-
Philippe Reynolds, Poclain Hydraulics
Electrification has pushed on-board hydraulics to become more efficient, quieter, and increasingly hybridized with electrical systems and advanced controls, while still delivering the power-dense actuation machines depend on. The result? Technologies that often leave engineers asking, “Is that hydraulics?”
Following the live recording, Fluid Power Forum Plus members are invited to stay for an exclusive networking reception with fellow engineers and industry leaders.
