The Main Event
“Thermoformer of the Year” Grand Reception and dinner. It is your opportunity to learn from the industry’s best. You’ll be seated for fine dining while listening to the words of our chosen few. More details to follow.
Plant Tours
As part of the conference, we will arrange for plant tours for machinery, tooling and processing facilities. The details of the facilities that will host these tours are located on the “Plant Tours” tab. We have found that you can always learn something from touring a plant.
Exhibitors and Sponsors
Exhibiting sponsors from past conferences have spoken and the Thermoforming Division has listened. We are specifically targeting increased attendance from new processors, OEM’s and industry professionals. With our new venue, location and marketing approach, you’ll establish your brand and build new relationships within the industry. You are extended sponsorship, exhibiting and advertising options that provide your organization with a cost effective way to promote your products and services.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to introduce new and exciting products and technologies to a target audience during our “Innovation Briefs” presentations located directly on the Exhibit Floor. The “Innovation Briefs” presentations were a big success last year. In the event of scheduling conflicts, Sponsors will be given priority status.
Parts Competition
We invite you to enter your unique packaging or industrial parts in our annual parts competition. With multiple categories in rollstock and cut-sheet sections, not only do you have a good chance to win gold or silver, but the advertising and marketing exposure to key conference attendees and members of the media is worth the submission alone. Winning parts receive full coverage in the Division’s quarterly magazine and is typically highlighted in popular plastics industry magazines. Submit your parts today!
