2027 Adhesion Science & Technology Short Course (02/06/2027)

Sat, 06 Feb 2027 05:00:00 GMT

The Adhesion Science & Technology Short Course will be held February 6-7, 2027 PRIOR to the Annual Meeting. This course provides an introduction and overview to a variety of critically important topics in the field of adhesion. Highlighting the significant contributions that surfaces, adhesive chemistry, polymer behavior, and mechanics make to measured adhesion, the course provides strategic insights for bonding success ranging from structural to soft matter adhesion. Participants have gone away with a deeper knowledge that includes practical concepts for understanding and improving adhesion. The course is traditionally offered in conjunction with Adhesion Society's Annual Meeting, taking advantage of an outstanding group of instructors that would not otherwise be available in a single course. Each topic is presented by a scientist who is a world leader in that area. This gives the attendees the opportunity to learn from and interact with scientists whose expertise provides a unique view into the history, science, and relevance of their topic. We are continuing this tradition for an in-person event held the week prior to the Annual Meeting, and encourage you to consider attending for a great overview of key adhesion concepts. The course will include 12 lecture hours with ample Q&A spread over 1.5 short days.

2027 Annual Meeting (02/07/2027)

Sun, 07 Feb 2027 05:00:00 GMT

The 2027 Annual Meeting will be held February 7-10 at the Marriott San Antonio Riverwalk. This event will include a special celebration for the 50th annual meeting, a two-day short course being held February 6-7 (Sat-Sun), technical sessions with oral presentations, a poster session, vendor exhibition, student award symposium.

Who Should Attend:

The Annual Meeting is a vital forum that brings together the international adhesion science and technology community. This event is essential for professionals, academics, and government representatives whose interests lie within the field of adhesion, including the following backgrounds:

Chemists
Engineers
Materials Scientists
Physicists
Mathematicians
Biologists
Dentists
And others involved in adhesion science and technology.

The meeting typically hosts over 200 attendees from many countries, representing academia, industry, and government sectors, all united by a commitment to the advancement, education, training, and recognition of achievements in the science and technology of adhesion.

2027 Exhibitor Booth Registration (02/07/2027)

Sun, 07 Feb 2027 05:00:00 GMT

The Adhesion Society brings together a diverse collection of academic and industrial scientist and engineers devoted to the characterization of surfaces and the thermomechanical properties of polymers, biomaterials, and adhesives. An exhibit event would welcome a diverse collection of publishers, specialty chemical suppliers, instrument suppliers, etc. with a focus on polymeric materials, including surface characterization, thermal analysis, mechanical properties, rheological properties, and adhesive characterization. The exhibit would expose 200+ researchers to cutting edge advances in adhesion science, technology, and characterization of materials.

NOTE: Fee includes one table, two chairs, dedicated space and registration for one person from your company to attend the Annual Meeting and staff the tabletop. You may exhibit on the tabletop, use a backdrop and/or pop-up displays. If more than one person is attending, please process the registration under the Annual Meeting regular registration fee.

NOTE: if you are utilizing the free exhibit pass and not staying at the host hotel, you are required to select the "Exhibit pass + offsite hotel" registration ticket under the Annual Meeting.

EXHBITION FEES (includes “one” registration to the Annual Meeting)
**be sure to process the one registration under the Annual Meeting**

Booth registration fee:
Single Exhibit Space ..............$1200
