Attendees networked with the finest minds representing the full spectrum of advanced composites, bathware, corrosion, custom molding, cast polymer and solid surface, infrastructure, marine, pultrusion, and transportation products.
There were over 200 educational sessions covering many business aspects from advanced composites, business improvement, composite processes, low-cost closed-molding, regulatory, marine, solid surface, tooling and UV curing.
COMPOSITES 2010 is the most comprehensive composites conference in the North America. It is the best opportunity to learn from industry leaders from around the world and to exchange ideas with others who share your interests and your livelihood. Among the conference highlights are:
