ICE USA to Feature Educational Sessions for all Experience Levels

ICE USA, the International Converting Exhibition, has announced a strong lineup of keynote speakers, industry fundamental workshops, and technical education sessions for professionals at all levels in the converting industry at the show April 25-27 in Orlando, Fla.

ICE USA 2017, marking its fourth edition in the Americas, is North America’s leading converting exhibition, bringing over 250 exhibitors together with thousands of packaging, paper, non-woven and self-adhesive industry professionals. Manufacturers will showcase their latest equipment and technology from all key areas of converting like web coating, laminating, slitting, rewinding, coating, pouch making and many more.

"Our goal with the educational sessions at ICE USA is to keep attendees up to date with the latest industry information presented by experts in the converting industry," Melissa Magestro, executive VP of Mack Brooks Exhibitions, Inc., said. "Our programs offer something for every level of experience — whether you are just starting out and need the basics, you are looking for the latest in industry research, or you need advanced troubleshooting techniques."

Highlights of the ICE USA Conference Educational Sessions include:

• Keynote Presentation – Dr. Robert Fry, Chief Economist, will present his outlook for the global economy in 2017 and beyond, with emphasis on U.S. manufacturing. In addition to covering the usual array of economic statistics, he'll address the vital role of oil prices, the likely impact of President Trump's policies on U.S. economic growth, and the potential for strong growth when the economy is at "full employment."
• AIMCAL Fundamentals - The AIMCAL Fundamentals Course is a one-day program for anyone involved in coating and drying or slitting and rewinding operations of paper, film, nonwovens and other continuous flexible materials.
• ICE USA Technical Sessions – No matter their level of experience, technical personnel in R&D, manufacturing, and operations can learn how to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their job with information they can implement immediately through our technical educational programs. Topics include research, new technology and best practices in web coating, printing, drying, web handling, converting, finishing, adhesives, coatings and substrates.
• Future of Converting Theater – Presentations on the show floor will discuss best business practices, M&As, sustainability, industry forecasts, and more.
