2019 Fluid Power Technology Conference

We are not quite ready to open registration for our 2019 Fluid Power Technology Conference.  But, I can tell you that it is scheduled to take place at the Milwaukee School of Engineering on May 14-15, 2019.  On May 13th, there will be two full day workshops in conjunction with our FPTC also taking place at MSOE.


I invite you to please watch our website for the announcement of registration being open.  We have announced two very interesting keynote speakers.  

Donna Ritson is the President of DDR Communications.  DDR’s business is based on a direct response methodology that delivers market research, business development, strategic alliance and actionable market intelligence for companies in virtually every B2B industry.  Donna will have some important insights about the fluid power industry.

Dan Kara is Vice President of our Robotic Group at WTWH Media and  is charted with driving the company’s robotics and intelligent systems initiatives. Prior to joining WTWH, he was Practice Director, Robotics at ABI Research and Chief Research Officer for Myria RAS, both research and advisory services firms focused on automation, robotics and intelligent systems.  Dan has presented on robotics in fluid power at the Fluid Power Industrial Consortium in 2018 at MSOE and his talk was most informative.

In addition to our keynote speakers, our Conference will include as many as 12-20 sessions about various fluid power topics including cylinders, safety, seals and much more.  We will be offering offsite tours to all attendees as well, including the fluid power lab at MSOE.  

Tuesday and Wednesday sessions will be kicked off with continental breakfast, include a lunch break, hours of networking opportunities, and the Tuesday session will conclude with a cocktail reception.  Our website will be updated regularly with the sessions that are planned.

I will be posting more information on this blog about our upcoming event and I hope that you will consider attending.

Closing Out

 Well, this is my last week of my fluid power career.  I have thanked and recognized many people in my previous posts but I want to thank and acknowledge Scott McCafferty, Managing Director of WTWH Media and friend for hiring me 7 years ago and allowing me to continue my career in fluid power.  Thank you Scott for your support and confidence in me!  It has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you continued success!  I also thank co-founder, Mike Emich for helping me with my career.  Mike has been a good friend and a steady good influence on many sales people.  Thank you Mike! I also recognize Paul Heney with whom I have worked for many years on both H&P and Fluid Power World.  Paul has always been a very enthusiastic, creative, and energetic Editorial Director with many great ideas to help our audience and our advertisers.  Paul has also been a great friend for all of those years.  Thank you Paul!
