Celebrating its 20th anniversary as a very important three days each year for the global filtration business, the Filtration 2011 International Conference and Exposition will feature more than 120 exhibitors from all links in the filter supply chain at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois, from November 15-17, 2011.

Exhibitors will be showcasing the latest products, technologies and end products for filtration; while an extensive three-day Conference Program will cover diverse aspects of filtration technology, new products and research. INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, the organizer of Filtration, expects the three-day event to attract close to 1400 attendees from 30 countries to network, attend the Conference and walk the aisles of the Navy Pier exhibition hall.

"As it returns to Chicago after a successful show in Philadelphia last year, Filtration 2011 will certainly live up to its reputation as the most important and largest gathering of the global filtration business this year," says INDA President Rory Holmes.

Holmes points to the vital role filter products plays in everyday personal and business lives as a reason for the success of the event year after year, and especially in this challenging economic climate.

"Issues such as interior air quality, control of airborne diseases and illnesses, and greater efficiencies for industrial applications are topics that remain vital to individuals and businesses and Filtration 2011 will address all of these issues, and many more," Holmes says. "The business of filtration is at the forefront of these challenges and they will certainly be topics of discussion at Filtration 2011."

In addition to the Exposition, the Filtration 2011 Conference will provide insight into the latest technical developments in filtration from some of the industry's leading companies and research institutions.

One of the highlights of the Filtration 2011 Conference will be a session called "Twenty Years of Progress Looking into the Future." Executives from four leading filtration companies - Ahlstrom, AAF, Flanders and Hollingsworth & Vose - will share a brief historical perspective of progress and market developments, their current view of the filtration marketplace, and a focused look to future trends and dynamics in the business.

Also as part of the Filtration 2011 Conference, the always well-attended Filtration 101 & Filtration 201 sessions will cover the basics of both Air and Liquid Filtration, along with discussions of common applications in both fields.

"The Filtration 2011 Conference is the best place in the world this year for filtration executives to learn about the technical developments that will continue to drive this business in the 21st Century," says INDA Technical Director Steve Ogle.

"The Filtration 2011 Committee has put together an excellent program for attendees that will put the focus on the business of filtration and what it will take to succeed in the future."
