    Ice Cream, Knowledge a Big Draw at H&P Booth

    March 12, 2020
    Dessert wasn't the only draw for curious IFPE attendees.

    They came for the ice cream; they stayed for the information.

    Attendees at the International Fluid Power Exposition visited the Hydraulics & Pneumatics booth on March 11 drawn by the allure of ice cream treats. They got to meet with H&P editors and other staff to discuss some of the key industry issues, along with how H&P can continue its long tradition of helping its audiences around the world address fluid power challenges.

    The 2 p.m. PST booth event offered both a break from walking the show floor and provided a cool transition to the National Fluid Power Association’s Power Hour from 4-6 p.m. in the South Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where IFPE was held this year.
