C-suite leaders and product developers convened from 10-12 October in Chicago, Illinois for the third edition of FiltXPO. FiltXPO is an exhibition and technical conference dedicated exclusively to filtration and separation products and processes, organised by INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry. Leading-edge exhibitors displayed their products and services to technology scouts and business developers.

The conference featured sessions on filter media technologies, advancements and opportunities in filtration machinery and equipment, innovations in clean air for homes and urban areas, standards and testing, industry trends and new developments, and filtration challenges and opportunities.

The two-day Filter Media Course, conducted by Behnam Pourdeyhimi, Ph.D., Professor and Executive Director, The Nonwovens Institute; Hechmi Hamouda, Ph.D., Professor Textile Engineering, NC State University (ret.); and Hooman Tafreshi, Ph.D., Associate Professor Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, NC State University, allowed participants to develop an overall understanding of nonwovens and their applications in air, liquid, and aerosol filtration, technologies, unmet needs, and trends for future development.
