Conference

More Than 200 International Speakers

Delegates will have the opportunity to see presentations from more than 200 speakers from the world’s leading materials innovators, NGOs, chemicals experts, researchers, manufacturers, environmental consultants, sustainability experts, and innovative companies that are already leading the way forward in operating greener manufacturing facilities and have achieved the highest levels of sustainability.

 

In-Person, Live Stream, AND On-Demand

In 2021 we will be expanding our options to attend the conference sessions. Whilst most events in 2020 were unable to take place in the traditional physical sense it allowed the events sector to fully embrace the digital age. Trans-Global Events, together with our parent organization and digital partners, ran a number of highly successful virtual events during the course of 2020. In 2021 we take that experience gained to offer a number of options that will enable anyone, from anywhere in the world to attend the conference sessions. Whilst we expect that many people are looking forward to attending physical in-person meetings after such a challenging time, we will also be offering the option to stream the conference sessions live online, and if you can't watch the sessions live there will also be the option to view all the content on-demand to catch up at your convenience.  

 

Interactive Panel Discussions

Interactive panel discussions will take place throughout the conference, ensuring that the latest topics and concerns are discussed and theories and solutions are given where appropriate. Conference delegates will find a far-reaching and diverse group of conference streams to choose from every day, each providing detailed information from qualified professionals.

 

High-Quality Evening Networking Event

The high-profile conference, coupled with one of the industry’s largest and most diverse exhibitions, makes this not only a prestigious event to attend but also a priority for senior executives and key decision-makers. Our fantastic evening networking event will provide conference delegates, speakers, and invited exhibitors the perfect setting to unwind after the conference, make new connections and enjoy our hospitality in the city of Cologne.

 

If you are interested in speaking at the 2021 conference we are inviting you to put forward your presentation proposal for review by our international conference advisory board. Please note that not all submissions can be accepted but all will be considered ahead of the final submission deadline.

PRESENTATION FORMATS

Individual Presentations – 20-MINUTES

Individual talks are 20-minute presentations explaining recent innovations, research, and findings. These individual talks will each be followed by a short 5-minute Q&A and will be grouped together by topic.

Panel Discussion – 30 -MINUTES

Panel discussions provide an analysis of broad industry trends from a variety of perspectives. These discussions will begin with the moderator providing an overview of the topic, then each panellist will give a short introduction to themselves and their area of topic expertise. The moderator will then move to open discussion with prepared questions and questions from the attendees. If you propose a panel discussion, be prepared to serve as moderator and invite speakers from around the industry. A list of prospective speakers or speaker companies should be included in the proposal.

PROPOSALS THAT WILL BE GIVEN PREFERENCE IN THE REVIEW PROCESS:

• Talks that reveal new ways of thinking about and applying technologies to the plastics debate
• Talks that feature content never seen before and not available online, but has been created specifically for this event
• Real-world examples that show a novel application of technology or illustrate a solution to a technical challenge in an end product, including a detailed discussion of the trade-offs and choices made
• Talks that engage the audience in a highly creative or interactive way
• Legislative talks discussing current and possible future laws governing the material use and production processes.

In general, we look for speakers who are willing to share their knowledge to help design and innovation continue and grow. Proposals that aim to market a specific company or product will not be considered.
