Another AC Complete #nfpaconference

Well, the 2016 Annual Conference of the National Fluid Power Association is now complete!  We learned a lot from the speakers and had a chance to get caught up with other members.  My term on the board has ended though.


There were several very good presentations with some pessimism but lots of optimism.  I really liked the message by Scott Klososky of Future Point of View who presented several very interesting points such as "your smart phone = an outboard brain" and "Humology - the intersection of human and technology in the workforce."


San Antonio is a really cool place.  The weather was not great during the Conference but that did not deter a very interesting visit.  Thanks to the NFPA for putting together this Conference and thanks for the time on the Board of Directors.
