Designed for facility maintenance, plant engineers, energy managers and distributor sales engineers, the Best Practices 2026 EXPO & Conference is devoted to sustainable, safe and reliable on-site industrial plant utilities powering automation – including compressed air, nitrogen, HVAC/process cooling and blower/vacuum systems. Attendees will learn how to save energy and water, increase uptime and reduce product rejects through educational sessions led by industry thought leaders and interactive workshops.
“Manufacturing's percentage of total GDP in Indiana is at the very top in the U.S. and we’re looking forward to bringing our ‘Best Practices’ partners to the state for the first time,” said Roderick M. Smith, Publisher, Best Practices Magazines & EXPO. “Optimizing chilled water, compressed air, blower, vacuum and nitrogen systems offers low-hanging fruit opportunities to make every manufacturer more profitable and competitive. We’re proud to be an associate member of IMA and hope our expertise will benefit manufacturing plant members."
