The two-day conference – India Composites Summit 2012, which was held on 1 – 2 November, featured various informative sessions and offered ample networking opportunities to the delegates. Some of industry’s sharpest minds were present and shared their valued opinions and expertise with the attendees. Conference theme was “Composites Sector in India: Exploring New Applications and Developing New Technology”.
Conference attendee and lead scientist of Polymer Science and Technology SABIC’s Innovative Plastics Program at GE ITC, JFWTC, Dr. Anirban Ganguly comments, “I enjoyed the conference and the stalls at exhibition. I hope that the event comes in a bigger way next time.” Similar was the response of Jeremy Dolby, Managing Director of Red Composites (UK) Ltd., “I found it really useful with plenty of interesting activities going on.”
