The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) will convene a two-day advanced hydraulics conference for off-highway vehicle and other fluid power engineers running in parallel with CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, held March 3-7, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the international gathering place for the construction industry every three years. It focuses on construction, aggregates, and ready-mix concrete, and it features exhibits of the latest technologies and innovations in equipment, products, and services.  

NFPA members exhibiting at the show are encouraged to submit session proposals for inclusion at the conference. Sessions will be 30 minutes in length. A multitude of presentation topics will be considered, but special consideration will be given to proposals that address:

  • Hydraulic system designs, architectures, and products optimized for performance on off-highway vehicles
  • Thermal management strategies for hydraulicly-actuated 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 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 

To submit a session proposal, send the proposed title, presenter name with a 100-word bio, and a 100-word presentation abstract to Denise Husenica at dhusenica@nfpa.com by June 30, 2025.
