Managing for Recovery

Strategies & insights for
navigating the new landscape

(View video clips from Forum 2009)

The Plastics News Executive Forum returns to Tampa's Saddlebrook Resort next March 7-10. The event will combine 2-plus days of informative conference sessions led by industry experts with extensive networking opportunities, including the PN Processor of the Year Award reception.

Participants in our March 2009 Forum indicated a desire for a more international flavor to the event, and we have responded by recruiting speakers from Hong Kong, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Hungary. These speakers not only have expertise in their local regions, but also deep knowledge of plastics in the emerging markets of China, India, the ASEAN region, the Middle East, Russia and across Eastern and Central Europe. The addition of Conversation Stations — informal, topical discussion areas dotted throughout the program — is designed to stimulate networking, and ensure you get quality time with those participants you most wish to meet.

Created to serve the needs of all types of plastics processing senior executives, the Forum's agenda will deliver vital information across a wide range of timely and important topics, including:

The economy	Managerial & operational best practices
ETP & commodity resin prospects	Medical market demands
Biopolymer challenges	Effectively applying technology
Tool transfer & mold maintenance	Global resin trade trends
Rapid manufacturing & prototyping	Emerging market insights
Nanotechnology opportunities	Supply-chain trends

Be sure to stay abreast of Forum developments by following The Forum Insider Blog. Ask questions of conference director Robert Grace or of the speakers, post comments and engage in dialogue about relevant topics prior to the event.

With its most affordable pricing ever, the Forum offers an opportunity for plastics executives to connect, arm themselves with relevant business intelligence, and stay a step ahead of key industry trends — all in the relaxing surroundings of an award-winning resort in warm Florida weather. See you there!
