Plastec Conferences
Attend a Plastec Conference!​
Plastec Minneapolis will be held from November 2 -3, 2022 in the Minneapolis Convention Center.  This five-in-one design and manufacturing expo is built to give you a comprehensive view of the product lifecycle—from prototype to production. Come explore the latest insights and solutions spanning medtech, packaging, automation, plastics, and design. Home to leading innovators including 3M, Medtronic, General Mills, Mayo Clinic, Bosch Automotive, Medical Alley Association, and Cargill, Minnesota is an engineering and manufacturing powerhouse across multiple industry sectors.  Coupled with its deep talent pool and healthy start-up ecosystem, the North Star State is the ideal location for an advanced manufacturing event of this scope and size.  Our very own Peter Turk plans to attend this show for our firm.  Use our contact page to set up a meeting with Peter during the show.

Plastec West goes above and beyond plastics and polymers. Explore the other four engineering trade shows that share the expo floor with Plastec West. From packaging to plastics to robotics, this five-in-one design and manufacturing event connects you across multiple verticals and industries.  Discover the latest biocompatible polymers and cutting-edge large-scale injection molding solutions, while uncovering technology solutions in medical design & manufacturing, 3D printing, and robotics.  Unfortunately, Plastec West 2022 was already held from April 12th to the 14th at the Anaheim Convention Center.  But don't worry.  Our site will bring you news about Plastec West 2023 just as soon as those details are released.
Plastec South was held at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC from June 14 to 16, 2022.  This all-new exhibition and conference will host Plastec, Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M), Automation Technology Expo (ATX), Design & Manufacturing (D&M), SouthPack, and Powder & Bulk Solids. This year, ANTEC(R) 2022 was also be co-located at the Plastec South show.  This event represented SPE’s return to in-person meetings with ~70 live paper presentations. The content focus was on topics of broadest appeal to those in the industry.  In addition, special attention was given to bringing back those activities which did not translate well to the virtual format of the past few years – especially our networking and recognition events. Stakeholders unanimously agree that these are the most important reasons for us to return to some sort of in-person program, even if for now it is one with a smaller footprint.  It is likely that only the more senior industry professionals may be able to attend, with corporate travel restrictions ongoing. The program and activities of the in-person event will be developed with this audience in mind.  For more information about this show, visit the show by clicking this link.
