CALL FOR PAPERS AT PP XX IN AMSTERDAM
The Plastic Pipes Conference Association (PPCA) has issued a call for papers to
be presented at its next conference and exhibition, Plastic Pipes XX. Hosted in
Amsterdam at the Hotel Okura, this event will be held September 21 – 23,
2020. Abstracts need to be submitted in English by October 22, 2019 and
additional guidelines are posted on:
“The main program will comprise approximately 100 presentations relating to
the design and development, testing, installation and operation of plastic pipes
systems,” stated Sarah Patterson, Co-chair and Technical Program Manager of
PPXX. “The papers will detail technical solutions or developments addressing
engineering issues using plastic pipes systems or components. Also, papers
identifying market trends for future growth of plastic pipes and components
will be accepted for consideration.”
2020 is seen as a landmark year for the plastic pipe industry. Zoran
Davidovski, Chair of the PPXX Organizing Committee, is confident of further
market growth. “Our technology and commerce have always been propelled by
ceaseless innovation throughout the entire supply chain. This call for papers is
expected to harvest some commercially significant developments from Europe
and particularly from North America and China where current growth in
demand is significant.”
“New materials, applications and scientific advances are about to change the
world of plastic pipe systems in many respects and Amsterdam will provide a
global medium for their communication.”
Conference topic areas include market issues, plastic pipeline solutions,
application areas for plastic pipes, processing, test methods and performance
of plastic pipes and fittings, sustainability and case studies. The full list of key
subjects is posted on the conference web page.
“In 2018, more than 400 delegates from 40 countries attended PPXIX in Las
Vegas to review 93 technical papers, network at global level and connect with
the 33 exhibiting companies,” remarked Patterson. “Presentations were of high
quality and the forum provided a genuine technical transfer of knowledge and
experience from the entire global industry. Our PPCA conferences typically
serve as a platform to facilitate communication between all stakeholders in the
plastic pipe industry.”
Alternating between the United States and Europe every even numbered year,
the three-day Plastic Pipes Conference and Exhibition is the largest event of its
kind which is focused solely on plastic pipe systems and applications.
The event is hosted by the PPCA members: PE 100+ Association, Plastics Pipe
Institute, Inc. (PPI) and The European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association
(TEPPFA).
