Share Your Knowledge and Innovations ASC presents the proposed topics for its first Annual Spring Convention! Take advantage of this opportunity as this will be the only chance to get in front of the industry and network with your peers. Submit a presentation proposal (abstract) for inclusion in the program. Any new technology, market intelligence or timely topics relevant to the adhesive and sealant industry will be considered. With the transition to an annual convention, we will now host two concurrent short courses. With the Caulks & Sealants and Waterborne Adhesives Short Courses co-located at the Annual Spring Convention, both technologies and markets will be emphasized in the program.
