Plastic Encounter Trade Shows
Plastics Encounter Trade Shows are regional marketplaces where professionals conduct the business of the global plastics industry through exhibits and conferences that provide unprecedented networking opportunities.

Plastics Encounter has two shows scheduled in major industry markets in 2004 -- Plastics Encounter Southeast is set for March 23-25 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, N.C., and Plastics Encounter Midwest will be held June 22-24 at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio. These will be the only trade shows in the U.S. during 2004 devoted strictly to the plastics industry.

Both shows will include first-class conference and seminar programs plus unique networking opportunities for plastic bags and packaging supplies companies.

The Southeast and Midwest regions were picked for shows in 2004 because both areas have important concentrations of processing plants. North Carolina itself ranks eighth in the country in plastics supplies shipments and the Midwest has higher industry employment and shipments than any other region.

The shows in 2004 will build on the successful Plastics Encounter Indianapolis event in 2002. There are no Plastics Encounter shows scheduled for 2003 to allow exhibitors to focus on the National Plastics Exposition.

Plastics News continues its highly regarded Executive Forum series in 2003 with a program Jan. 26-29 designed for top-level officials from plastics processing companies, their customers and suppliers. Learn and network in a spectacular setting - the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort, nestled behind a pristine desert mountain preserve. Click here for initial program details and speaker information.
