Upcoming Events

Global Advances in Plastics Engineering will have 15 sessions, 80 technical papers, 65+ booths, two receptions, and more than 500 attendees. Session topics include a Plenary (overview of the industry), Stabilization/Additives, Foams, Rigid Packaging, Catalysts and Process, Testing/Analytical, Polyolefin Nano Composites, Specialty and New Applications, Flexible Packaging (Trends/Drivers, Process, Materials, legal/regulatory),and a tutorial (Effect of Polyolefin Catalysts on Structure and Properties). Students from various universities from around the world will be displaying posters on their research and competing for prizes.

Advances in design and systems architecture have called for the increased utilization of sensors in numerous applications.  From manufacturing automation to medical devices consumer electronics, automobiles, aircrafts and energy management systems the use for sensors is growing exponentially.

NPE is a triennial international plastics exposition produced by SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association. NPE2012 will be the largest plastics industry event in 2012. The trade show portion will include 2000 companies exhibiting on one million sq.ft. (93,000 sq.m) and is expected to be visited by industry professionals from 120 countries. Co-located events will include SPE ANTEC 2012, the world's largest plastics technical conference; SPI's Business of Plastics Conference; and the second annual International Plastics Design Competition. The economic and logistical advantages of the new NPE venue in Orlando, Florida will enable exhibitors to have larger booths and operate more equipment than in 2009. 

Infocast is building on its recognized line of biobased chemicals events to present Durable BioPlastics, bringing together key players and comprehensively surveying industry developments. The Summit will encompass R&D pipeline all the way to commercial development, with an emphasis on application development and status of technical downstream integration (additives, compounding, shaping, etc.). LCA and end-of-life issues will also be addressed across all polymer types and applications.
