CAD RETEC® 2012 CONFERENCE INFORMATION
September 30-October 2, 2012
|
|
Hosted by SPE Color & Appearance Division (SPECAD)
|
|
|
|
The 50th Anniversary of the Society of Plastics Engineers Color and Appearance Division RETEC® is approaching. The 2012 CAD RETEC® committee has been working hard to develop a conference that celebrates not only where CAD RETEC® has come from but also the future of plastics coloring. Starting with the welcome reception at the exciting art glass studio, Glassworks, this year’s conference promises to bring wonderful opportunities to network with others involved with the coloring of plastics along with a full slate of technical papers, the always innovative New Technology Forum, and the exhibit area with more than 50 exhibitors.
CAD RETEC® is the premier technical conference devoted to the color & appearance of plastics. Attendees range among technical, sales & marketing, and processing departments from many plastics producers, colorant & masterbatch providers, and plastics compounders. With the wide variety of attendees, CAD RETEC® is the best venue for interaction with people passionate about the coloring of plastics. If you’ve ever been to a CAD RETEC, you know there are a lot of familiar faces who attend year after year, creating a unique networking environment for our industry where new and long term professional relationships can develop over time. If you have not been to a CAD RETEC conference before, this is a great opportunity to learn about the value this conference brings to the industry and why so many attendees attend faithfully each year.
If you have questions, please contact me ( sandra.p.davis@xxxusa.dupont.com – remove the xxx from the email address before sending). We are looking forward to see you in Louisville! Sandra Davis
