Two of the biggest events related to the plastic industry will occur simultaneously in Orlando FL May 7-11, 2018 and Exponent will be there.
This year, ANTEC, The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Annual Technical Conference will be held concurrently with the National Plastics Expo (NPE) - The Plastics Show. Held every three years, NPE is considered the world's largest plastics trade show and conference. It attracts more than 65,000 plastics professionals and features industry-focused education and leading suppliers of emerging technologies, equipment and materials for every phase of plastics processing, all in more than 1.1 million net square feet of exhibit space. Members of Exponent's team will be onsite for client outreach, technical collaboration and staff training.
Exponent has a long history of involvement in SPE through technical contributions, volunteerism and sponsorship. This year, we are proud to be sponsoring the Engineering Properties and Structure Division (EPSDIV), and the Failure Analysis and Prevention Special Interest Group (FAPSIG). Additionally, Exponent consultants will be presenting 4 papers and moderating two technical sessions.
