Convention Focuses on Growth Opportunities

The time has come to move beyond survival to growth — to refocus on the future. That’s the message of the IAPD (International Association of Plastics Distribution) 53rd Annual Convention & Exhibition, October 20 to 23 in Las Vegas. More than 700 plastics distribution and manufacturing professionals are expected to attend this business critical event.

Futurist Daniel Burrus will set the tone with his keynote presentation by sharing his perspective on the real growth opportunities for the plastics industry. He will discuss potential new markets, applications and customers for plastics based on hard and soft trends, as well as permanent and cyclical changes in the industry.

Keynote speaker economist Alan Beaulieu will narrow the focus to the economic outlook. He’ll address burning questions on issues such as economic growth, inflation trends, the stock market as a business indicator and the impact of corporate production facilities moving overseas.

Other topics to be addressed at the 2009 IAPD Convention & Exhibition include: what it means to “be green” in the manufacture and distribution of industrial plastics, the growing interest in bioplastics, plastics applications and effective sales prospecting.

The IAPD Plastics Exhibition will be held Friday, October 23. This unique show targets the entire plastics distribution community. It’s the ideal opportunity to experience the best of the plastics stock shapes and pipe, valves and fittings distribution industry.
