Exploring advances in polymer foam materials, processes and applications
We are pleased to launch our brand new Global Virtual Summit in Polymer Foam. Drawing on our many years’ of experience in serving the polymer foam industry, this fully online event will create the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest innovations in polymer foam happening around the world, assess new markets and network with movers and shakers in those markets.
The summit provides a unique forum for the global polymer foam industry to debate the latest developments in technologies, materials and processes. This event provides opportunities to learn from the experience of key players from all areas of the foam industry and to network with the whole global industry from the comfort of your own home or office!
Like many of you, we look forward to when the polymer foam industry can gather in person once again. But we’re just as excited to show you what the new virtual platform can do for you and your business.
The virtual conference and exhibition will be held over three Tuesdays in consecutive weeks, from 2pm CET, and will bring together foam specialists, raw material providers, product designers and plastic processors, both in industry and academia. You will be able to meet new contacts, engage with speakers through live Q&A and network with all attendees!
