Hello Performance Plastics Industry Leader,

We can’t wait to see you at IAPD’s 66th Annual Convention in Tampa, FL. This once-a-year event is crucial to making connections and building the relationships you need to succeed in the performance plastics industry. Plan to experience all that the convention has to offer, such as valuable keynotes, informative sessions, plenty of networking and the opportunity to set appointments with the people you want to meet.

Here are some highlights planned for this year:

• Two exciting keynote presentations: Hear from Alan Beaulieu of ITR Economics as he reveals strategic business strategies for prospering through the changes in 2023. The second keynote speaker, Alan Stein, Jr., will show you the keys to raising your leadership performance and amplifying your impact and influence. You won’t want to miss them!
• Valuable educational sessions, covering topics such as customer satisfaction during supply chain distruptions and leadership lessions in the Continuous Improvement Process.
• More time than ever for supplier and distributor meetings. Past attendees have asked for this, and we are delivering additional time slots for you to have these private meetings.
• An IAPD Plastics Political Action Committee (PAC) wine and cheese fundraiser. Learn how IAPD’s government relations team is proactively telling our collective industry stories to protect and grow the performance plastics markets.
• The all-new tradeshow format, connecX, will debut on Thursday afternoon. Visit the exhibitors, connect with old or new friends and get a professional headshot taken.

We’re glad you’re here!
