What our Attendees and Exhibitors are Saying:

processing issues – and also to meet with contacts at suppliers we currently use,” Patrick

“The free seminars were very helpful. It was great to see raw data for the equipment on
display,” Peter Tancini, Johnson Matthey.

“The Chem Show is a great place for all engineers to see how much various industries have in common,” Mary K. Lynch, Con Edison and Chair of NY Metro AIChE.

trying to reach are here [at the Chem Show] because the Show attracts such a broad
audience,” Tiffany Stolzenfeld, AMI/Cygnet.

“As with most engineers, visual experiences go a long way with understanding products
and applications. The Chem Show gives me the opportunity to meet directly with vendors
and interact with their equipment hands-on,” Hugh Jackson, King Industries.
