This announcement went out today and I felt compelled to share it with our readers. Distributors are a critical channel to market for surfactants and our partnership with the FECC in Europe enables us to bring the benefits of our surfactants conferences to their 1,400+ members.
ICIS Conferences and the Fecc (European Association of Chemical Distributors) today announced a media partnership around the series of ICIS Surfactant conferences, co-produced with Neil A Burns LLC.
The conferences are held globally in North America, Europe and Asia, with plans to expand to South America and Middle East. The next event as part of this series is the 1st ICIS European Surfactant Conference to be held in Budapest, September 13th and 14th. The CEO of Brenntag AG, Steve Holland, will speak at the conference. Further information and registration is available at www.icis.com/europeansurfactants
The conferences typically attract hundreds of senior managers from all points in the surfactant supply chain, representing companies such as Akzo, BASF, Brenntag Church & Dwight, Colgate, Croda, Dow, Ecolab, Johnson & Johnson, Kao, LG, Nexeo, PQ, P&G, Reckitt Benckiser, Rhodia, SC Johnson, Stepan, Univar and many others. The conferences are commercial in nature, focusing on market trends and economics along with in-depth studies of emerging technologies and geographies.
