AMI Conferences / Network with your colleagues in the global plastics industry

The 18th edition of AMI's Polyethylene Films conference took place on February 4-6, 2020 at the Ft. Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Golf Resort in Coral Springs, Florida, USA.

Polyethylene Films 2020 looked in detail at both the business challenges and technical developments of the industry. It analyzed how they impact today’s film producers and what that implies for the future of the industry. Polyolefin films account for 22% of all the polymers used in North America and make a fundamental contribution to the society in which we all live. The fundamentals of the market are still being driven by new innovations in terms of resin formulation and processing technology. The increase in the level of sophistication of polyethylene products offered to customers has driven functionality of final package performance and created value throughout the supply chain.

Polyethylene Films 2020 offered a lively interaction between the finest expert panel of speakers and delegates and provided a forum to debate the latest local and global trends within the industry. This conference provide the opportunity for all attendees to meet, share views, and discuss technical and business developments.

What if I cannot attend an AMI event because of bad weather, industrial action, sickness or bereavement?

Unfortunately AMI cannot take responsibility for such problems. We recommend that you ensure that your travel plans leave you enough spare time to cope with weather delays or industrial action and that your travel insurance policy will recompense you for any financial loss that you suffer as a result of being unable to travel for other reasons. Remember that if you cannot attend an event then you can always send a colleague in your place at no charge.

Do I need a visa to enter a country where AMI is holding an event?

It is entirely possible that you may need a valid visa to enter the USA when AMI is holding an event there. We recommend that at the time of booking you check the visa requirements. Please find below a link to the US State Department's visa requirements web pages:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en.html

We are unable to give refunds to delegates who cannot attend conferences because they fail the visa requirements of the country.

Does the conference program ever change?

AMI always does its utmost to avoid changes in advertised conference programs. However it is a fact of life that from time to time amendments have to be made as a result of changes to speakers’ circumstances or corporate change. Remember that you can always check with our conference staff on the latest status of any conference program.
