Guest blog from Jeni Wong, Chair of AFS

I am very excited to announce that we have officially opened registration for WFC13, the most technically comprehensive event in the filtration industry. With seven plenary and 30 keynote presentations, over 300 technical sessions, student and industry posters and more than 100 exhibitors, there is truly something for everyone.

Attendees to WFC13 include engineers, scientists, academics, marketers, purchasing agents, end-users, policy makers, senior executives and others. This unique opportunity provides a forum for people across filtration and separations to connect and engage at all levels of the industry.

Check out the schedule! As official host, the AFS will offer its signature filtration short courses on Wednesday, October 5. For years these courses have provided fundamental instruction to professionals just entering the field or switching from one field to another in filtration. Taught by industry veterans, they are exceptional opportunities for filtration education.

The Congress and Expo will officially open the morning of Thursday, October 6, and registration is open now. Early bird pricing ends June 18, so register now for the best discount! AFS members save an additional $150 on top of the early bird discount.

In addition to an extensive technical program, a sold-out exposition, and multiple networking events in beautiful San Diego, we are pleased to offer discounted rates through AFS at the host hotel, The Hilton San Diego Bayfront. These discounted rooms can be booked through the AFS website between now and August 27. Enjoy quick access to all of the technical sessions, expo hall and networking events when staying at the Hilton.

While the exposition is fully booked, we do still have sponsorship availability for those looking to expand their influence at WFC13. Please contact Tom Justice at [email protected] or 919-740-6308 for available options.

After so much time away from many in-person events, I am delighted that we will be able to catch up with old friends and meet new ones! I look forward to seeing you all in San Diego.
