Registration opens for injection moulding expo in Detroit
Free online registration has now opened for the first Injection Molding and Design Expo, which is taking place at the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, USA on March 16-17, 2022. You can register for your ticket here. By registering in advance, visitors will receive free admission to the exhibition plus free entry to its three conference theatres. One of these will focus on the future of moulding, another will cover plastic product design, and the third will be a training theatre hosting practical seminars. Attendees and exhibitors will also have the option to buy tickets for a networking party on the evening of 16 March. The exhibition and its conferences
are being organised by Crain‘s Global Polymer Group, which is the publisher of Plastics News magazine, and by AMI, the publisher of Injection World magazine. Both companies have extensive experience of organizing conferences and exhibitions for the international polymer industry. The headline sponsor of the expo is M Holland. “The event will provide visitors with
a great opportunity to meet and compare suppliers, as well as giving them the chance to learn from busi- ness leaders and technical experts in
the conference theatres,” said Brennan Lafferty, VP and Group Publisher for the Crain Global Polymer Group. “With its clear focus on plastics injection moulding and product design, it will be a highly productive meeting place for visitors and exhibitors alike.” The expo will fill the 140,000 ft² Hall
