Shaping the future of industrial bonding, one session at a time

Our conference offers an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of adhesives and bonding, relevant to a number of end-user markets. Gain insights into end-user requirements, material innovation, and manufacturing optimization to meet your application specifications with precision. What sets us apart is our diverse community of speakers spanning the supply chain, from end-users to manufacturers, converters, and industry associations.

Our sessions will explore various topics, from precision dispensing and hot-melt adhesives to surface treatments, adhesive tapes, thermal solutions, noise control, and insights into the cutting-edge machinery and services that drive industry progress. But above all, sustainability and supply chain collaboration are central themes, as we collectively shape a more environmentally conscious and efficient future.

The full agenda for 2024 will be launched in the Spring.
