The Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society has opened exhibit space sales for the 2027 and 2028 Global Polymer Summits. The move gives companies in the rubber, elastomer and tire industries an opportunity to reserve booth space and present products and services to industry professionals.
The 2027 Global Polymer Summit is scheduled for Sept. 28-30 in Cleveland, Ohio, and will be co-located with the International Rubber Conference. The 2028 summit will take place Sept. 12-13 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Organizers are accepting exhibitor reservations for both events.
A meeting point for the polymer supply chain
Organized by the Rubber Division, the Global Polymer Summit brings together manufacturers, suppliers, researchers and other industry professionals for networking, education and business development. Its exhibition is designed for companies involved in manufacturing, raw materials, compounding and mixing, distribution, processing, testing and research, molding, extrusion, parts production, recycling, and academia and education.
Attendees represent a broad range of professional disciplines, including technical, scientific, research and development, testing, quality, design, operations, purchasing, production, sales, marketing and corporate management. Academic professionals, early-career individuals and students are also part of the audience.
Early reservations and exhibitor support
Exhibitors are encouraged to reserve space early to secure preferred booth locations and to gain additional exposure through event marketing, sponsorships and promotional opportunities. The organizers say exhibiting companies receive a range of benefits intended to increase visibility and support business development.
Those benefits include preferred pricing on sponsorship and marketing opportunities, company listings in the GPS Planner, event website, conference app and official publications, and complimentary registrations based on exhibit space size. Exhibitors also have opportunities for editorial coverage in the GPS Daily publication, promotional graphics for social media and email signatures, and support from a dedicated GPS exhibiting team.
Who the exhibition is for
The exhibition is structured for companies that supply materials, equipment, processing services, testing and research expertise, parts and recycling solutions, as well as academic and educational organizations. For suppliers, the summit combines an exhibition floor with conference programming and business development activity, while giving exhibitors a way to reach technical, production, purchasing and management audiences in one setting.
Companies interested in exhibiting can review the event prospectus and floor plans and reserve booth space through the Global Polymer Summit website. The organizers are promoting both the 2027 Cleveland event and the 2028 Pittsburgh event as opportunities to plan ahead for booth placement and event visibility.
