Attendee surveys regularly find that the number one reason people attend trade shows is to see the latest technology.

Those individuals will not be disappointed with NPE2012 and its TechnologyCentral@NPE2012 area in the North/South hall of the Orange County Convention Center. Technology Central will feature more pavilions than ever before, and they will be packed with new and emerging technologies. In fact, all of the pavilions are officially sold-out of exhibit space—so you are sure to find the tools and solutions you need to reshape the future of your business. The pavilions allow you to find “your world” through a high-value, focused approach.
 
NPE organizer, the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) announced that Dow Chemical Co. would underwrite the technical education program and Technology Central. Dow is also the exclusive corporate underwriter of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) ANTEC 2012, which will be co-located with NPE, and include more than 500 original peer-reviewed technical presentations.
Technology Central will also include SPI’s 2nd International Plastics Design Competition, four multi-exhibitor specialty pavilions, and a technology theater for presentations and demonstrations by exhibitors.
