Virtual ANTEC
Message from Conference Website
ANTEC® showcases the latest advances in industrial, national laboratory and academic work. Papers will share findings in polymer research and/or new and improved products and technologies.
SPE is hosting ANTEC® 2022 in-person, co-located with PLASTEC® South, an Informa event, in Charlotte, NC, June 14-16. PLASTEC® South is a comprehensive annual plastic design and manufacturing event for plastics professionals, suppliers and buyers to discover innovation, engineer new technology, and to expand their networks. ANTEC® 2022 will also include an online component.
The presentations at the in-person event will be selected/invited based on the applicability of their topic across a wide cross-section of the plastics value chain. Presentation/speaker selection, which will occur through a paper submission/review process and/or through invitation, will be considered based on the quality, relevance and newness of any research done in the field as well as the speaker’s position in the plastics industry. Technical Papers that are not selected for in-person ANTEC® will be recorded and delivered virtually over a schedule that will be announced soon.
