Says PLASTICS President and CEO Matt Seaholm: “With more than 100 sessions total and 60 industry speakers present at NPE, attendees will learn about the future of plastics, the important part they play in our evolving industry and how plastics contribute to our daily lives and our circular economy.”
For the first time, NPE will be offering an Expo Pass registration that will give those attendees access to more than 75 education sessions located on the show floor in the all-new “Spark Stages.” Sessions will highlight topics such as artificial intelligence applications, the future of plastics, business productivity and profitability, sustainability and advancement of the circular economy and more. Attendees are encouraged to tailor their education schedules to meet their personal business needs.
The three Spark Stages are:
Bottling Stage: Attendees will discover advancements in technologies for the beverage and non-food segments.
Innovation Stage: Sponsored by the Plastics Hall of Fame, attendees will hear presentations on the latest in electrification in automotive, advancements in Industry 4.0, material science and more.
Sustainability Stage: Sponsored by Nova Chemicals, attendees will learn how the entire plastics supply chain is developing solutions to improve efficiency, reduce materials loss, use less power and more.
Off the show floor, and for the first time in its history, NPE2024 will also give Expo Pass attendees access to industry briefings from thought leaders representing the major end markets for plastics — automotive, building and construction, consumer goods, and medical and packaging.
There will also be comprehensive industry briefings that offer insights and business updates from every market segment, including global insights on the economic impact of plastics, market trends, future forecasts on recycling and a review of the Global Plastics Treaty. Plus, there will be market trends sessions with insights into the U.S. recycled plastics industry, the future of polyethylene and polypropylene, and other leading topics.
For PLASTICS, this NPE2024 is going to places that no NPE has gone before. “These new Education Sessions are an opportunity to gain insightful takeaways to help organizations and individuals solve their toughest challenges and shape the future of the plastics industry,” says Arlene Davis, director of NPE Content and Experience at PLASTICS. “NPE2024 is more than an opportunity to discover the latest products and services.
