Every 2 years, the leaders in thermoplastic composites technology make their way to Bremen, Germany, to discuss the latest developments and trends, share their unique expertise and present their vision for the future. The 7th International Conference on Thermoplastic Composites (ITHEC) will take place Oct. 9-10, 2024.
After successfully tackling the challenges of a virtual event in 2020 and a hybrid event in 2022, ITHEC will again be fully on-site in 2024, enabling the face-to-face meetings and networking that participants have so highly valued.
The conference program will feature more than 40 presenters from around the world. The call for papers was opened in October. Anyone interested in participating via an oral presentation or poster contribution should submit an abstract by March 2024. Presentations will be organized into thematic areas and grouped within three main tracks: Aerospace, Automotive and Emerging Technologies.
CompositesWorld is a media partner for ITHEC 2024 and will host a panel discussion on the second day focusing on the special topic: Energy Transition.
ITHEC 2024 will also feature more than 40 exhibitors, showcasing technology from all parts of the supply chain including materials, machines, processing, testing, analysis and innovative new solutions.
CompositesWorld and ITHEC look forward to seeing you in Bremen next October!
