Innovation and Emerging Plastics Technologies Conference

The Innovation and Emerging Plastics Technologies Conference is held annually on the Penn State Behrend campus. Attendees of the two-day conference hear presentations by several industry experts and take part in hands-on tutorials. Many of the tutorials are held in the college’s 10,500-square-foot plastics processing lab, the largest, most comprehensive plastics training lab in the country.

The conference includes half-hour presentations in the mornings, with three concurrent sessions on injection molding technology, materials technology, and executive/management practices. Afternoon programs feature a choice of three-hour tutorials, with many including a hands-on component. A networking session is held after the tutorials.
