FEICA Annual Conference & General Assembly 1998

24-25 September 1998, Cologne, Germany

 

Welcome!

This Conference & General Assembly marks the start of a new era in the history of FEICA. For the first time, we are arranging a full conference in conjunction with the annual General Assembly. The objective for this is obvious: to offer the FEICA members more value for money and to attract more managers from areas like Research and Development, Manufacturing, Logistics etc.
The Conference consists of nearly 30 presentations, carefully selected by the Conference Committee, to give you insight into a wide range of topics relevant to our industry, e.g. innovative raw materials, new production and application technologies, environment legislation issues, the Euro, the Millennium bug, business re-engineering etc.
This extensive programme will start with the Conference Opening Session, presenting Mr. Dominique Fournier, Worldwide Vice-President of Exxon Chemical on Responsible Care, Mr. Robert Peacock, Frost & Sullivan, presenting their latest study on the European adhesives market, and Professor Uwe Keller of the Max-Planck-Institute on adhesives in the age of aerospace.
In addition to the Conference, a table-top exhibition has been organised, where 18 companies are exhibiting their products and services. You can meet and discuss with some of the (potential) suppliers and get the latest information on raw materials and equipment.
We have also kept all the traditional events that made the former FEICA General Assemblies so successful. For participants wishing to extend their stay throughout the weekend, we are offering post-conference tours.
In conclusion, the new FEICA Annual Conference and General Assembly is the occasion to get an update on what is happening in our industry, to interact with your peers and to extend your network within the industry!
Looking forward to see you in Cologne and... please be reminded that we have limited availability...

The Table-top exhibition.

Parallel to the Friday sessions of the Conference a table-top exhibition will be running from 12.00-17.00 hrs. The place for this is the Heumarkt Hall. The exhibition will be the showcase for the latest in raw materials and equipment for the adhesives industry. Participants in the Conference will in a natural way be drawn to the exhibition hall, as the Friday’s buffet lunch will be served in the open space between the exhibition booths.
