CAD RETEC® 2013 CONFERENCE INFORMATION
September 22-24, 2013
|
|
Hosted by SPE Color & Appearance Division (SPECAD)
|
|
|
|
The 51st Annual Society of Plastics Engineers Color and Appearance Division CAD RETEC® is quickly approaching. Baltimore’s beautiful Inner Harbor District serves as an excellent setting for the theme of this year’s CAD RETEC®, “Color Comes Alive”. CAD RETEC® is the largest technical conference hosted in North America that is specifically dedicated to the color and appearance of plastics.
With attendees from all corners of the world and from all areas of expertise within the plastics industries, a myriad of opportunities are available for professional networking. We’ll kick off CADRETEC® with a classic: Bob Charvat’s day-long “Coloring of Plastics” tutorial scheduled for Sunday, September 22 (separate registration required). Say hello to old and new friends at our Sunday evening opening reception. Monday afternoon, tune in to the New Technology Forum, which allows exhibitors to showcase their company and their products or services, followed by a networking reception to be held in the tabletop area. Throughout the conference listen to industry experts explain the latest innovations and developments related to the color and appearance of plastics. And be sure to stick around for a fabulous array of door prizes to be raffled off immediately after the last paper.
CAD RETEC® 2013 will be held from September 22 – 24. I invite you to join us in Baltimore as “Color Comes Alive”.
