letter from the publisher Global tour update
One of the most enjoyable parts of publishing Compounding World magazine is running our live conferences around the world and connecting with readers from throughout the plastics compounding supply chain. We have recently returned from our fi rst Compounding World Asia conference in Singapore, which was a great success, attracting compounders from all over Asia-Pacifi c and beyond. For the next stage of our global tour, we will be heading to Philadelphia on 8-9
December for the third Compounding World Forum. This year’s US conference features an impressive line-up of speakers including infl uential leaders from major compounders, plus experts discussing a whole host of exciting materials developments. Examples include aliphatic polyketones, anticounterfeiting technologies, 3D printing resins, antimicrobials, carbon nanotubes, conductive compounds, impact modifi cation, natural fi bres, and additives for improving the properties of recyclates. The event will also feature a packed exhibition area for networking. We have
covered 48 of this year’s exhibitors in our preview, which starts on page 67 of this issue. There is still time to reserve your place at the conference – booking details and the full speaker line-up can be found at
http://bit.ly/CWF15P. Next stop on our global circumnavigation will be Cologne in Germany for our
second Compounding World Congress on 18-20 April 2016. The programme for this has just been published and you can fi nd out which expert speakers will be covering which exciting subjects in the brand new brochure at
http://bit.ly/CWC16B. Our Cologne event was a sell-out last year with 230 attendees and 25 exhibi- tors. We’ve secured larger rooms this year, but still expect very strong demand for the available spaces. Following a summer break, we will be heading back to Singapore for the second Compounding World Asia confer- ence on 22-23 September 2016 (F1 fans may like to note that this is just four days after Singapore’s spectacular night- time Grand Prix!). If you are interested in participating in the conference as a delegate, speaker, exhibitor or sponsor, then now is the time to get involved. Full details, including our early
booking offer, can be found at
http://bit.ly/CWA16H. We hope that you will be able to join us at one of these worldwide stops over the next 10 months.
