The 2003 International Powder & Bulk Solids Technology Forum, an in-depth educational conference developed specifically for dry processing professionals by a global faculty of industry experts, makes its debut on May 5-8, 2003 at Pheasant Run Resort & Conference Center in St. Charles, IL. The event will also feature tabletop displays, vendor presentations and high-level networking.
The International Powder & Bulk Solids Technology Forum complements the International Powder & Bulk Solids Conference/Exhibition, the world’s most comprehensive showcase of solutions for dry processing and bulk solids handling. Following the adoption of a biennial schedule for the Conference/Exhibition, the Technology Forum was created to answer the continuing education needs of dry processing professionals. Designed as a conference-focused event with an emphasis on advanced training and high-level networking, the Technology Forum provides a unique educational opportunity for industry professionals. The Technology Forum will be held on alternate years to the International Powder & Bulk Solids Conference/Exhibition.
Five Technology Areas Highlighted
The International Powder & Bulk Solids Technology Forum will feature 3 days of educational programming focused on five areas of critical interest to dry processing professionals across industry lines. The program has been developed and will be lead by respected industry experts who serve as “Technology Champions” – leaders in their fields who guide the content and structure of the material presented. The Technology Forum will cover the following areas:
