The World Filtration Congress is a global congress with presenters, exhibitors and attendees from all over the world. Originally scheduled for April 2020, WFC 13 was forced to postpone due to the pandemic. At that time, we were hopeful that by September 2021 we would be able to resume this event. Unfortunately, the virus continues to rage in many parts of the world, with government and corporate travel restrictions still in place.

Therefore, AFS and WFC leadership have again made the decision to postpone WFC 13, this time to October 5 – 9, 2022. Short courses will be offered Wednesday, Oct. 5, and the Congress will run Thursday, Oct. 6 through Sunday, Oct. 9 at noon. The Expo will be open Thursday morning through Saturday afternoon.

WFC13 will still include three symposia (Energy, Environment and Health), and we fully expect there to be an enormous amount of knowledge sharing specifically on filtration and separations discoveries and developments regarding COVID-19 and implications for related industries. The world-class roster of plenary and technical session speakers will reflect the latest filtration and separations technology, best practices and research.

While we were looking forward to meeting in person this September, we have an obligation to the global filtration community to allow full participation in this premier event that occurs only once every four years.
