Foam Expo is North America’s first free-to-attend two-track conference on the design and manufacturing of flexible and rigid foams for technical applications. This year’s program is especially designed for engineers and decision makers from OEMs, Tier 1s, foam fabricators, converters and manufacturers. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn from first-hand experiences of key industry figures on application design requirements, methods for optimizing manufacturing processes and current trends in the technical foam markets. 

The conference will be opened on Tuesday February 28 with a plenary program focusing on industry standards, appealing to all segments of the supply chain: from supplier to end user. Look out for sessions on design challenges, foam property characterization to meet standards, and eliminating hazardous materials in foam production. 

On Day 2, March 1, the program will split up into two tracks focusing on foam applications and manufacturing trends and best practices. Grouped by material property, you can expect case studies reviewing shock-absorbing, thermal, lightweight and sound-absorbing applications of various foams in Track 1, and processes for optimizing foam manufacturing and converting in Track 2. 

Day 3 will close the event with two tracks focusing on sustainability and recycling, two aspects of the foam industry that are undergoing innovation.
