ChemShow 2009 Preview

ChemShow 2009 will be held November 17-19 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York.  “Processing Solutions for a Changing Marketplace,” the show will showcase over 300 exhibitors and anticipates more than 10,000 professional attendees. ChemShow 2009 will feature a technology conference and symposium on nanoscale materials and “green” technology. Organizers say the focal point of the symposium will be bridging the gap between science, technology and commercialization. Created for the ChemShow by Innovative Research and Products (iRAP; Stamford, Conn.), the “Nano and Green Conference & Symposium” will explore the impact of nanotechnology on environmentally friendly processing. The conference will focus on colloids and surface modifications that benefit nanotechnology applications, nanoparticle synthesis and nano-bio convergence and their emerging technologies and markets. Aside from the product exhibition and symposium, the show features a host of educational sessions. Chemical Engineering will present a two-day educational program (see pp. 30-31).The Valve Manufacturers Association (VMA; Washington, D.C.) will present sessions on the use of valves and actuators in the chemical…
