Excellent in introducing new technology. - Kuraray America
Co-located Thermoplastic and Silicone Elastomers US Summits are the only North American events that bring together these growing industries to discuss opportunities in the elastomers sector, creating a unique platform for innovation and networking, and cultivating endless learning opportunities and a thorough look at trends and advancements. Purchasing one ticket to either Silicone Elastomers Summit or TPE Summit allows access to both summits for the price of one. All attendees have complete access to both summits, and can choose between two tracks of specialized presentations.
Elastomers Summits have been running for over 10 years in the EU, and was brought to the US in 2014 to share key program content and the unique co-located format. Experts discuss the latest trends in both silicone elastomers, such as HCR, LSR, and medical prospects, and thermoplastic elastomers, such as smart TPEs, automotive, and high performance needs; as well as tackling topics that affect both sectors, such as emerging applications, market trends, material updates, and sustainability. Attendees have the opportunity to network with innovative and forward thinking industry professionals who are serious about succeeding and discovering the answers they need to obtain their business goals. With double the information and networking opportunities, Elastomers US Summit offers all the industry insights and connections needed to push the silicone and thermoplastic elastomers industries into the future!
This program is shaped by a panel of expert advisory board members who know this industry inside and out.
