Next Networking Opportunity:
Event: GGS Annual Tech Fair — Oportunities for Green in a Polymer World
Date: September 26, 2008
Abstract:

Primary Speakers: Dr. Joseph Green, Dr. Brian Ralston, Mr. Neil Munchin
Primary Speakers' Companies in order: CSU Chico, Exponent, Cereplast Inc.

The time is comming for the SPE GGS Annual Tech Fair on September 26, 2008.  Our theme this year is Biopolymers.

Increasingly, consumers, designers, molders and fabricators are being asked to use and work within the realm of biopolymers, but what does this mean?

We present three excellent speakers that can help you to understand what exactly being green entails and what it will mean in the future.

Following the Tech Fair, we invite you to attend the annual Education Night. Where university students get an opportunity to showcase polymer related investigation and projects currently being conducted at their schools. 

I sincerely hope you will be able to attend.

Best Regards,

Alfonso Lopez
SPE GGS president
