INDIANAPOLIS—The Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers will host three in-person training academy sessions for 2025, adding one more session compared to 2024's training.
The in-person sessions will take place on March 3-5 in Chicago, and May 6-8 and July 14-18 in Indianapolis. ARPM said that the sessions offer "cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills" to rubber manufacturers across the U.S.
"The ARPM Training Academy is excited to announce our 2025 in-person training lineup featuring the return of Advanced Rubber Product Manufacturing Technologies and Seals Product Design and Manufacturing, along with the debut of our new Product Liability Training course," ARPM Executive Director Letha Keslar said. "Taught by experienced rubber practitioners, this training is truly second to none, providing participants with unparalleled expertise and practical insights to advance their skills and drive industry excellence."
This year's sessions will cover manufacturing technologies, as well as product liability training and seals product design and manufacturing, the ARPM said.
ARPM Training Academy Architect Joe Walker called the in-person training one of ARPM's "unique, industry leading opportunities" for rubber manufacturers. This year's program will focus on the use of artificial intelligence in the rubber manufacturing field and other technologies integrating into the industry, Walker said.
"In 2025, we are expanding our groundbreaking seals training to include cutting-edge content on AI and advanced rubber manufacturing technologies," he said. "Additionally, ARPM is introducing the industry's first training on Product Liability, adding even more value for attendees. By listening to our participants and members, we continually evolve our training content to meet their needs. The 2025 program is a testament to that commitment."
