The Boards of Directors for the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE) recently announced the signing of a Letter of Intent for a new advanced materials and composites event. This conference and exhibition is expected to launch in the fall of 2014.

“We are very excited about the scope of the show and the value it will bring to our memberships and the composites and advanced materials industry,” said Kate Thorpe, president, SAMPE. “SAMPE and ACMA are recognized as the leaders of the industry, serving the industry and helping it grow. Bringing our two strong shows together will provide even greater value for our members and the industry.”

“We are thrilled to be working with SAMPE on such an important project,” said Lori Luchak, president, ACMA. “The mission of our organizations is to serve the industry. This show will certainly fulfill that mission and enable us to expand the rest of our programs to give the industry the tools it needs to continue to innovate and move forward.”
