Registration is officially open for Plastics Technology’s Extrusion 2022 Conference. The conference, now in its eighth year, is an education-focused, two-and-a-half-day event that will feature sessions from industry leaders, tabletop exhibits and networking opportunities. The conference will take place on December 6-8, 2022 at the Omni Charlotte Hotel in Charlotte, NC.

Owing to differences in the various extrusion processes, the program will be comprised of general sessions in the mornings designed to apply to all extrusion processors—regardless of what comes out of their dies—combined with more specific breakout sessions in the afternoon that drill down to particular extrusion processes.

This year’s conference will also include a half-day workshop on compounding, called Best Practices in Twin-Screw Compounding, that will be held Dec. 5 at The Polymers Center of Excellence, also in Charlotte.  

A full lineup of education sessions will be available in the Extrusion Conference Registration Brochure, which will be sent along with the October issue of Plastics Technology Magazine, as well as posted on the event’s website, ExtrusionConference.com in August.
