The Adhesives Industry is living through what our Chinese friends would call "Interesting Times". The combination of pressures, even for those of us that have lived through several business cycles, is new. The result is that all businesses, small, medium and large, are having to learn quickly and be prepared to do things differently, or even do different things, in order to achieve success.

It is no coincidence that the theme for this years´ Conference is "Adding Value" - through technology, through operations and through innovative business processes. I am confident that both tracks will offer us practical ideas and concepts that can be put to use in our companies.

For the first time we have introduced a Workshop Session in each track. This is your opportunity to participate, discuss and learn from practical examples, best preactice, and proven success among fellow professionals.
