The Tire Society is pleased to announce the 43rd Annual Conference, to be held September 11th through the 13th, 2024, at the University of Akron, Ohio.  This year’s conference theme is “Beyond the Surface – Models, Materials, and Manufacturing”.  The Conference is historically the premier technical event covering tire science and technology and will include a Keynote Address from a Tire Industry Top executive, a Plenary Lecture, Banquet Speaker, and a wide array of more than 20 interesting and significant original works by top tire technologists.  The Conference was expanded from 2 to 2 ½ days, based on positive feedback from last year’s attendees, to allow more time to interact at the student poster session and sponsor exhibits.
