The AnnuAl Spring ConvenTion –c.ymcdn.com/sites/€¦ · · 2017-02-09The AnnuAl Spring...

The AnnuAl Spring ConvenTion – a must attend event for the industry!Dear Industry Professionals, I invite you to join us in Atlanta for ASC’s Annual Spring Convention and EXPO. This year we are introducing several new features to expand this event’s offerings and grow its value to you as an industry professional. You may have heard that ASC has moved to one annual convention beginning in 2017. As a result, you won’t want to miss this single opportunity to network with your industry peers at an ASC convention this year. Our opening keynote is Matt Lewis, a CNN Political Commentator and Senior Columnist for the Daily Beast. An insightful political commentator and observer, Lewis will provide analysis regarding the changing political landscape and the likely governing consequences of a Trump administration, ranging from economic to environmental policy. This year we have increased the number of tracks on Day One to four with a focus on the following topics: key feedstocks, mergers & acquisitions, regulatory challenges, alternative cure technology, automotive, improved hot melts, innovation drivers, and bonding difficult substrates. On Day Two, Dan Adams, founder of The AIM Institute and author of the B2B organic growth newsletter “New Product Blueprinting,” will present the keynote entitled “Want Faster Organic Growth? Better Let Your Customers Surprise You.” Adams will share new research by The AIM Institute showing how over 80% of project teams were surprised by customer needs. Session highlights for Day Two include a first-ever focus on operations and process safety. Dr. Sam Mannan, Director of the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at the Texas A&M University, will kick off a series of sessions dedicated to improving safety at the operations level. Other key sessions will include building and development, characterization, and processing. Additionally, two co-located short courses are scheduled focusing on Waterborne Adhesives, which will provide fundamental knowledge of formulating and use of this adhesive class to help attendees to select, design, apply, and troubleshoot adhesive package and, ultimately, add to the bottom line, and Caulks & Sealants, which will explain how sealants not only offer important performance properties, providing many advantages to modern design, but that putties and caulks also serve to take up space and fill voids. We will also recognize two outstanding recipients of the first-ever ASC Innovation Award, which identifies significant impact chemistries that contribute to downstream industries unmet needs and advancements in technology. Lastly, we have increased the number of exhibitors in our EXPO to more than 100, the largest ever. Clearly you cannot afford to miss this year’s ASC Annual Spring Convention. Review the program schedule for the most recent lineup. You can also check for updates at www.ascouncil.org or by contacting an ASC staff member. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.

Best regards,

Chuck Williams Technical Director, Avery Dennison ASC Chair (2017-2018)

KeynoteS & InnovatIon awardSTueSDAY opening generAl SeSSion BreAKFAST & KeYnoTeThe Unprecedented era of Trump: What to expect Matt Lewis, CNN Political Commentator & Senior Columnist for the Daily Beast

An insightful political commentator and observer, Matt Lewis will discuss the political, technological, and sociological forces that gave rise to the historic election of Donald J. Trump. This presentation will include analysis regarding the changing political and journalistic landscape--changes that will likely revolutionize the way politics is practiced and covered. In addition, Matt will discuss the likely governing consequences of a Trump administration, ranging from economic to environmental policy. Lastly, Matt will provide up-to-the-minute commentary and analysis of current events and any breaking news of the day.Matt Lewis is a Senior Columnist for the Daily Beast, a CNN political commentator and author of the book Too Dumb to Fail: How the GOP Betrayed the Reagan Revolution to Win Elections (and How It Can Reclaim Its Conservative Roots). He is also a contributing editor for TheWeek.com, and a former senior contributor for the Daily Caller. Previously, Matt served as a columnist for AOL’s Politics Daily, and before that as a blogger for Townhall.com. RightWingNews named Matt one of the “50 Best Conservative Columnists” in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The American Conservative Union named him

the 2012 CPAC Blogger of the Year. Business Insider named Matt one of the 50 “Pundits You Need To Pay Attention To Between Now And The Election” in 2011. Additionally, the Young Conservatives Coalition’s selected Matt as a recipient of their second annual “Buckley Award” in 2011. Matt’s work has also appeared in outlets such as GQ, POLITICO, and the Guardian — and he has been quoted or cited by major media outlets including New York Magazine, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Associated Press. As a commentator, Matt has appeared on Fox News, MSNBC, C-SPAN, ABC’s Nightline, and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher.

WeDneSDAY morning generAl SeSSion KeYnoTeWant Faster Organic Growth? Better let Your Customers Surprise You

Dan Adams, President, AIM Institute How do you handle the Surprise Paradox? We don’t like to be surprised in business… but great products require a surprise. It’s no fun to be surprised when building a facility or installing software, but unless your new product is surprising (non-obvious), you can’t even get a patent. Solution surprises are tough to schedule, but you can put yourself in a position to be surprised by customer needs (that your competitors missed). Dan will share new research by The AIM Institute showing how over 80% of project teams were surprised by customer needs. If you think this is hard to do, you may be… surprised.Dan Adams is the founder of The AIM Institute, and author of New Product Blueprinting, the B2B Organic Growth newsletter, and the weekly blog, Awkward Realities. He is a chemical engineer and holder of many patents and innovation awards, including a listing in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. An award-winning speaker, he has lectured at Wharton’s Executive MBA program and has trained thousands of innovation and marketing professionals in every region of the world... in both the front-end of innovation and B2B product launch.

Short Course program DescriptionCaulks and sealants are primarily used in building construction, product assembly, transportation and DIY to bond surfaces together, fill gaps and serve as a physical barrier. Understanding how polymer se-lection and the additive package produces gap filling properties while maintaining balance of strength and elongation, is fundamental to design and utilize caulks and sealants for diverse applications.

This two-day short course, taught by industry experts, will review the role of each component in the sealant formulation as well as how to apply, specify and test the product to ensure performance in the expected environment for the lifetime desired.

Short Course attendees are invited to attend the

ASC EXPO and reception starting at 3:00 p.m.

Who Should attend?The course is designed for

individuals employed by manufacturer, supplier or end-

user companies and design-engineering professionals.

A basic chemistry background is assumed; however, no

advanced knowledge is required. This course is ideal for RD&E,

Application Engineers, Architects, Specifiers, Project

Managers and Sales/ Marketing Professionals.

Short Course program DescriptionWaterborne adhesives are a logical choice for many end use applications where versatile and envi-ronmentally friendly solutions are desired. These low VOC (volatile organic compounds) adhesives are easily formulated to optimize performance for a wide variety of applications where water clean-up is important. Fundamental knowledge of formulating and use of this adhesive class will help you to select, design, apply and trouble shoot your adhesive package and ultimately add to your bottom line.

The two-day course reviews the base polymers used in waterborne adhesives today and how to for-mulate with additives for specific applications. Attendees will learn common methods of application as well as mechanical and rheological behavior of the adhesive before and after bonding.
