Opening General Session: CAMX Live!

Disruptive innovation is generally known to be something that creates a new market or disrupts an existing market by displacing established market leaders. Can composites and advanced materials do this with the traditional materials we compete with? We believe it can, and there are many examples in our industry which are demonstrating this. The general session will provide examples of how companies are thinking about designing and creating in new ways to make radical changes to products and the industry. Take away a few ideas on innovation and some inspiration for the future of composites and advanced materials. During the session, the CAMX Award winners, sponsored by Ashland, will also be presented.

The General Session is open to attendees and exhibitors.

Thank you to the General Session sponsor, Owens Corning.

Education Sessions

Education Sessions are typically 45 minutes long (some may be longer) and are not accompanied by formal research papers, instead they focus more on case studies, best practices, issue reviews, etc. These sessions are presented as lectures, panels, and/or discussions by subject area experts and will provide you with valuable information in a multitude of areas.

Pre-Conference Tutorials

Pre-conference Tutorials will be held on Monday and Tuesday, December 11-12, and are three-hour courses that fully immerse attendees in a single area of focus. Attending a Pre-conference Tutorial builds a foundation for improved learning and understanding for the duration of the conference.
