The American
Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) today announced that
online attendee and housing registration is now open for COMPOSITES
2011, THE Composites Exhibition and Convention, which will be held
in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., February 2-4.
This year’s show will offer a full range of business, professional and
educational opportunities with a continued emphasis on emerging markets,
new technologies, environmental issues and equipment efficiencies.
Exhibit space is nearly 60 percent sold out and more than 120 exhibitors
are already on board for COMPOSITES
2011.
“Show attendees will find the networking, vendors and education they
need to connect, learn and grow in the coming year—all under one roof,”
says Marcy Offner, Marketing Manager, Composites One, and Co-chair of
the COMPOSITES Committee. “Plus, this year’s Ft. Lauderdale location
allows us to offer additional demonstrations and tours of local
composites facilities to showcase the industry’s marine market.”
Building on the successful format of last year’s event, COMPOSITES
2011 will offer ample, unopposed time for attending education
sessions, networking and visiting the exhibit hall. This year’s
education sessions and technical paper presentations will continue to
cover a broad range of topics and will now include a University Poster
Session, a half-day of topical presentations from the Society for the
Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE), a session on
thermoplastics from the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), and
additional programming on upper management topics.
The COMPOSITES
2011 exhibit hall will feature a number of specialized exhibit
areas, including: Composites Europe Pavilion; Adhesives and Sealants
Pavilion; University Pavilion, and Awards Pavilion. There will also be
networking receptions for specialized industry areas,
demonstrations/presentations on the main stage and in exhibit booths as
well as the popular Awards Luncheon.
