Why This Matters to the Fluid Power Industry
Chemical processing and manufacturing is one of the many industrial applications which makes use of fluid power technologies. Therefore, eChem Expo — which is owned and operated by Power & Motion’s parent company EndeavorB2B — is a potential event of interest for those in the hydraulics and pneumatics industry serving this market.
Listen to the podcast episode “eChem Expo Brings High-Value Training to Manufacturers” to learn more about the conference sessions at eChem Expo 2026 from EndeavorB2B publication Chemical Processing, which is helping present the event.
eChem Expo is designed to bring together various members of the chemical processing and manufacturing industry such as plant leaders, engineers, operations teams and other industry stakeholders. A variety of topics of importance to these stakeholders will be covered during the conference including operational, reliability, and workforce challenges facing modern processing and manufacturing facilities.
Technical Tracks Designed for Chemical Processing and Manufacturing Professionals
The conference program for eChem Expo 2026 is built around real purchasing needs and operational priorities identified through stakeholder interviews with professionals across the industry. Eight focused technical tracks will provide education on various topics of interest to attendees:
Day 1 tracks (Wednesday, April 8)
- Capital Effectiveness
- Operational Excellence
- Industrial Artificial Intelligence
- Workforce Development
Day 2 tracks (Thursday, April 9)
- EHS (Environmental, Health and Science) & Compliance
- Instrumentation for Process Reliability
- Accelerating Turnarounds
