Conferences

Conference, AFS HomeWith almost 35 years of hosting conferences and expositions, AFS is the leading organization to provide educational content in all areas of filtration and separation.  AFS hosts its annual conference, AFS FiltCon in the spring of each year.


13th World Filtration Congress
October 5 - 9, 2022      San Diego, CA
Dear Colleagues, we hope you, your family, and your colleagues remain safe and healthy during the extended pandemic.  As you know, WFC is a global congress with presenters, exhibitors, and attendees from all over the world.  When we were forced to postpone from April 2020 to September 2022, we hoped COVID-19 would no longer be an issue.  Unfortunately, that is not the case, as participation by colleagues in Asia and Europe is still uncertain.  Some of our industry's largest companies in N. America are still under corporate travel restrictions with no end in sight.

AFS and WFC leadership have made the decision to once again postpone WFC 13 to October 5 - 9, 2022.  Short courses will take place on Wednesday, October 5.  The congress will open Thursday morning, October 6, and will conclude Sunday, October 9 at 12:00 pm - PST.  The expo will open Thursday morning and will close Saturday afternoon.

On behalf of AFS and WFC 13 leadership, and the delegates of INDEFI, we thank you for your patience, understanding, and support.
