Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society is accepting exhibitor reservations for the 2027 and 2028 Global Polymer Summits, the organization announced from Akron, Ohio. Exhibit space sales are now open for both events, giving companies in the rubber, elastomer and tire industries a chance to present products and services to industry professionals.
The summit is organized by Rubber Division, ACS and brings together manufacturers, suppliers, researchers and other industry professionals for networking, education and business development.
Selling space for two editions at once gives suppliers a longer planning horizon: they can commit to consecutive summit years instead of deciding on a single show.
Dates and locations
The 2027 Global Polymer Summit will take place Sept. 28-30 in Cleveland, Ohio, and will be co-located with the International Rubber Conference. The 2028 summit is scheduled for Sept. 12-13 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The two editions differ in shape as well as location: a three-day run in Cleveland alongside the co-located conference, and a two-day program in Pittsburgh.
Exhibitor benefits
Rubber Division is encouraging exhibitors to reserve space early, which allows companies to secure preferred booth locations and gain additional exposure through event marketing, sponsorships and promotional opportunities. Exhibiting companies also receive a package of benefits intended to increase visibility and support business development:
- Preferred pricing on sponsorship and marketing opportunities;
- Company listings in the GPS Planner, on the event website, in the conference app and in official publications;
- Complimentary registrations, allocated according to the size of the exhibit space reserved;
- Opportunities for editorial coverage in the GPS Daily publication;
- Promotional graphics for social media and email signatures;
- Support from a dedicated GPS exhibiting team.
Complimentary registrations are allocated according to the size of the space a company reserves, while the listing benefits place exhibitor information in the summit's printed and digital channels, including the conference app.
Who exhibits and who attends
The exhibition is designed for companies involved in manufacturing, raw materials, compounding and mixing, distribution, processing, testing and research, molding, extrusion, parts production, recycling, and academia and education.
Attendees represent a broad range of professional disciplines, including technical, scientific, research and development, testing, quality, design, operations, purchasing, production, sales, marketing and corporate management. Academic professionals, early-career individuals and students are also part of the audience.
