| Opportunities for Chemicals and Materials: a conference series to facilitate industry growth In December 2009, CDMA launched a new conference series focusing on opportunities that offer significant new business growth potential for the chemical and materials industries and the value chains they serve. Our next Opportunities for Chemicals and Materials Conference -- Capitalizing on the Design/Material Interface -- is scheduled for December 2 - 3, 2010. CDMA has discovered a substantial gap in communication between our industry (chemicals and materials) and product designers who play a critical role in converting commercial needs into actual products. Stay tuned for meeting details when developed. Past Opportunities for Chemicals and Materials conferences: Capitalizing on Wind and Solar Energy -- this conference was uniquely designed for chemicals and material companies that are not yet engaged in renewable energy. This was not about generating energy, but rather about enabling products (e.g., films, adhesives, coatings, lubricants, and structural materials) needed to produce low cost, efficient and durable wind and solar devices.
