The Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has opened exhibitor reservations for the next two editions of the Global Polymer Summit, set for Cleveland in 2027 and Pittsburgh in 2028. Exhibit space is being sold for both meetings at the same time.
The summit is organized by the Rubber Division, ACS, and draws manufacturers, suppliers, researchers and other industry professionals for networking, education and business development. Companies in the rubber, elastomer and tire sectors can use the exhibition to present products and services to that audience. According to the organizer, exhibitors that commit early are better placed to secure preferred booth locations and can gain added visibility through event marketing, sponsorships and promotional opportunities.
Dates and host cities
The 2027 Global Polymer Summit will be held Sept. 28-30 in Cleveland, Ohio, co-located with the International Rubber Conference. The 2028 summit is scheduled for Sept. 12-13 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a two-day format.
What exhibiting companies receive
Companies reserving space are offered preferred pricing on sponsorship and marketing opportunities. Participation also includes a company listing in the GPS Planner, on the event website, in the conference app and in official publications. The number of complimentary registrations provided depends on the size of the exhibit space booked.
Further benefits cited by the organizer include 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. These items are described as ways to increase visibility and support business development.
Who the exhibition is designed for
The exhibition targets companies involved in manufacturing, raw materials, compounding and mixing, distribution, processing, testing and research, molding, extrusion, parts production and recycling, as well as academia and education.
Attendees represent technical, scientific, research and development, testing, quality, design, operations, purchasing, production, sales, marketing and corporate management disciplines. Academic professionals, early-career individuals and students also form part of the audience, the division said.
Reserving space
Interested companies can review the event prospectus and floor plans and reserve booth space through the Global Polymer Summit website. Because space for both years is on sale now, firms planning to appear at either meeting can reserve at this stage. The announcement did not include booth pricing, total floor space or expected exhibitor counts for either event.
