    There is plenty ahead for Rubber & Plastics News in 2019. We'd love to see you at one or more of our upcoming conferences.

    AKRON—After more than two full days of speaker presentations focusing on the latest development in tire manufacturing and design, the International Tire Exhibition & Conference came to a close Sept. 13.

    The bi-annual conference, organized by Rubber & Plastics News, is a three-day event that includes a full schedule of technical papers exploring a range of topics related to tire manufacturing. The accompanying exhibit offers industry suppliers the opportunity to show off the most up-to-date technology.

    This year's event ran Sept. 11-13 at the John S. Knight Center in Akron, and it included a keynote presentation from Rich Kramer, Goodyear chairman, CEO and president, as well as a special breakfast during which Steve Cron, co-inventor of Michelin's Tweel, was given the Harold Herzlich Distinguished Technology Achievement Award.

    ITEC is set to return to Akron Sept. 15-17, 2020.

    There's plenty in store for RPN in 2019, including the ITEC in Focus program, which will offer an in-depth look at green tire technology. The two-day ITEC in Focus event is set for Sept. 25-26, 2019, is dedicated to examining one aspect of tire manufacturing and development.

    Also planned for 2019 are:

    • Plastics & Rubber in Automotive, Jan. 14-15, Novi, Mich.
    • Medical Elastomers Conference, May, Greater Chicago area
    • International Latex Conference, Aug. 6-7, Akron
    • Hose Manufacturers Conference, Nov. 12-13, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

    More information about any of RPN's upcoming conferences and shows can be found at rubbernews.com.
