SOCMA reports that it is taking a cautious approach in planning the 2021 event, with the health and safety of exhibitors and attendees of primary concern.
The Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA) recently announced it is returning to trade show ownership with the acquisition of the Specialty & Custom Chemicals Show. The event was founded in 2019 and produced by Chemicals America.
“As a galvanizing force for the specialty and custom chemical community, it is SOCMA’s role and responsibility to connect the supply chain,” said Jennifer Abril, SOCMA’s president and CEO. “When we sold InformEx in 2005, it left a void. Our industry thrives on face-to-face, intimate interactions to solidify business partnerships and fulfill supply chain needs, and without InformEx that unique space for connecting was severed for SOCMA. Returning to the trade show space underpins our strategic focus to offer commercial growth opportunities for our members and the industry, alongside our year-round trove of tools and resources.”
