Foam Expo returns to Novi, Michigan

July 13 - 15, 2021

The world's largest dedicated exhibition and conference for the manufacturers and buyers of technical foam products and technologies returns to Novi, Michigan, July 13-15, 2021 for the fourth annual edition of the show. Next year for the first time we will be co-located with Adhesives & Bonding Expo, North America’s largest exhibition for adhesives and bonding technology.

Foam Expo was established five years ago to provide the foam community a forum to share ideas and discuss and develop solutions and services for the industry.  After a period of intense disruption and major changes to the way we work and do business this year, Foam Expo remains true to its core goal of connecting the community and progressing the foam industry through the following key elements of the event:

Show floor

View thousands of products and meet 500+ exhibitors at the world’s largest exhibition for technical foam – a one-of-a-kind opportunity to source the latest innovations and technologies in foam manufacturing.  View live product demonstrations, collect product samples, and discuss your requirements with potential new partners during your visit.

Networking

Over the past few months we have been delighted to keep our community connected with a series of insightful webinars and the Foam Expo virtual event, but despite the convenience of technologies that enable digital meetings, nothing compares to face-to-face interactions with people you would never have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. With networking receptions, B2B matchmaking and networking breaks and lunches throughout the event, Foam Expo is the meeting place to make invaluable new connections and catch up with colleagues. And beyond built-in networking, you never know what new partnerships could arise from a chance meeting as you grab your morning coffee - and if you aren’t there to seize it, your competitor will instead!

Education

Core to the Foam Expo experience is an opportunity to catch up on emerging industry trends, discover the latest foam and adhesive processing and application requirements, as well as approaches for testing and validating foams and adhesives. The expert speaker panel of industry leaders and technical specialists will provide the most up-to-date content including post-pandemic market requirements, balancing cost-efficiency with sustainability and how to prepare your business for the opportunities that lay ahead.

Get involved!

Although we know you can’t wait to meet in person, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with the Foam community and keep to up to date with the latest trends through our range of digital initiatives.  Don’t miss our webinars, executive interviews, industry reports and more!

Health & safety

The health and safety of all participants is of the utmost importance to us and Foam Expo will ensure the highest standards upheld to assure this. We will continue to monitor the COVID situation and have put added safety and sanitization protocols in place - further information to be published soon.
