Hosted by the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA), in partnership with the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and Spirit AeroSystems, this inaugural event will take place on the NIAR campus in Wichita, KS, May 4 - 5, 2021. This event offers suppliers, manufacturers, distributers, engineers, technicians, and OEMs, from North America and abroad, a platform to learn about the growth potential facing the composites industry and the revolution needed to prepare our factories for the building demand.

A PowerPoint is required for each 25-minute presentation and can be based on case studies, best practices, trends, research, etc. Presentations that are deemed to be too commercial will not be selected. All submissions will be reviewed by industry representatives and the selected speakers will be notified in early-December.

We encourage presentations from all members of the composites industry supply chain and presentations do not necessarily need to adhere to the suggested list below:

Automation Equipment and Software
Analytics and Big Data
Futuristic Planning of Shop Floor
Inspection
Mechanical Design & Simulation
Public/Private Partnerships
Recycling and Downcycling

Speakers will receive a significant discount off the conference registration fee and are expected to register for the full conference.
