CAD RETEC® is the longest running and largest technical conference in North America devoted to the coloring of plastics. It started as a technical conference focused on development, manufacturing and research in the field of color science, color measurement, and coloring plastics but has grown to be THE place to network with others in the industry.

CAD RETEC® 2024 5K Fun Run/Walk is sponsored by Chroma Specialty Chemicals and the proceeds (matched by CAD) will be donated to Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue, an organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of unwanted companion dogs.  Based in Tampa, Florida, Heidi’s Legacy has helped thousands of companion dogs find loving homes.  Click on the image for more information about Heidi’s Legacy Dog Rescue.
