Informex to hold inaugural conference sessions
Organisers call for presentations and speakers
For the first time in its 27-year history InformexUSA is to feature an educational conference programme that will run alongside the tradeshow in Charlotte on the mornings of Wednesday 9 February and Thursday 10 February 2011. The newly formed Informex Content Committee is currently inviting interested parties to submit outline presentation proposals before the deadline date of 15 October.
The conference sessions will run from 8-11 a.m. and will follow three separate tracks: ‘A broad view of the chemical industry,’ ‘Timely issues in the pharma business’ and ‘The specialty chemical market.’ It is envisaged that a wide range of topics will be covered within these tracks, including but not limited to: in-depth looks at specific markets, standards and regulations, distribution trends, creating successful brands, innovations, case studies, new technologies, supply chain developments and IP protection.
‘Based on extensive visitor and exhibitor feedback, we felt the time was right to introduce structured educational content at InformexUSA, providing a further forum for industry executives to gather and exchange valuable information,’ said UBM Live’s Informex brand manager, Jennifer Jessup.
‘The sessions will be free to attend for all registrants and exhibitors and will be totally objective, focusing on key industry trends and topics. We are particularly keen to make the presentations as audience-friendly and interactive as possible.’
Potential speakers are invited to submit a short description of their proposed topic, a brief biography and full contact information to Caitlin Devlin at cdevlin@informex.com.
With more than 70% of exhibitor space already booked and an exciting line-up of new networking and educational opportunities, the 2011 event is gaining momentum. With 365 exhibitors from 19 countries confirmed, the new venue – Charlotte, NC – is proving extremely popular as InformexUSA looks to build on its reputation as the leading event for buyers and sellers of fine, speciality, and custom chemistry to meet and exchange critical, high-value information.
