Informex Show Management today announced that its InformexUSA 2011 show will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, February 7-10, and also unveiled details of a brand new event, the Informex Specialty Chemicals Conference, which will be held in Houston, Texas.

Informex is also organizing the Specialty Chemicals Conference, which is being held in Houston, Texas on May 11, 2010. Launched in response to industry feedback and consultation with the Informex Specialty Advisory Committee, the event will feature a keynote speaker and will discuss the changing shape of the market, the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the industry, and how market changes have affected individuals and their roles. There will also be two panel discussions that will examine industry issues in greater depth. The first will evaluate the latest strategies for sourcing domestically and internationally, with a critique of current business strategies. The second panel will focus on capitalizing on a new market for existing products.

The conference will be concluded by two in-depth case studies. One will focus on how to use the most efficient technology in day-to-day operations that will enhance business, including catalysis, continuous processing and microprocessing. The other will look at the regenerative cycle of chemicals and how to minimize waste.
