 “The show is good, it’s impressive to have lots of people coming up to our stand who know what they are searching for and are professional, skilled and have specific questions. It is great that we can show a sample and explain what it looks like face-to-face too.”

Jerome Alexandre, Director of Global Business Development, Bostik.

Why listen?

Attendees can also take in the free conference over three stages, which address important trends and challenges facing the technical foam, adhesives, and bonding sectors in North America and worldwide. The number one reason you should attend our conference sessions is to gain insights into end-user requirements, material innovation and manufacturing optimization so you can meet your application specifications. What’s special about this conference is the community, you will hear and learn from a range of professionals across the supply chain (end-users, manufacturers, converters and industry associations) who will share different perspectives on hot topics without it feeling like a business meeting.

 “A cool thing about this conference is how there are different levels of expertise from the supply chain.”

Joshua Sabrowsky, Hyundai-Kia America Technical Centre
