Ohio Polymer Summit 2008

"Building for Tomorrow and Beyond"

June 3, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency Columbus

Register now to attend.

Co-sponsored by PolymerOhio and the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) with generous support from the University of Akron, the Ohio State University and many others.

The polymer industry is changing rapidly. New materials, new applications, new competitors, new customers all present the opportunity for growth or the possibility of being left behind. Join with leaders in Ohio's polymer industry to learn about some of these changes and the implications and opportunities for your business. Network with other industry leaders to find opportunities for collaboration that could change the way you do business.

This year's Summit is co-located and sharing some joint activities with the National Agriculture Biotechnology Committee's annual meeting, NABC 20.

One suggestion: You may need more than one person from your company to attend to make sure you cover the multiple presentations being given. You don’t want to miss any of these presentations. Another suggestion: check out the opportunities for sponsorship.
