We are excited to gather our society in Hilton Head, maintaining our legacy of annual meetings in the Southeast with the hopes of warmer and drier weather for everyone! This meeting follows the immense success of the World Congress on Adhesion and Related Phenomena (WCARP), which was aligned with our 2018 annual meeting in San Diego. We hope to maintain this trajectory for adhesion science and our profession! Our interdisciplinary program of fundamental science and engineering will surely catalyze new intersections of adhesion science, from pressure sensitive adhesives to adhesion challenges in transportation technology. We continue to infuse excitement for manufacturing with a focus on advanced manufacturing, including recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM). AM combined with the expertise of our society will lead to many innovations in the next decade.
The program involves many new elements, including novel programming in “lessons learned” in adhesion science, a networking event on Monday evening for new industrial scientists and academics, and an exhibitor space coupled with posters. We also instituted an option for a shorter lecture, which is intended to give everyone an opportunity to lecture in some fashion.
