All updates | Europe's event for the UV/EB curing industry

You know everything about our industry after this course!

Thursday, 19 September 2019 11:05

On the first day of the RTE Conference & Exhibition 2019, on 15 October, David Helsby will host an introductionary course about the Radiation Curing Industry.

David tells more about what to expect: ‘ When asked for a title for our 1-day course for newcomers to the Industry, the above was the quick response. On putting together the structure and content for the programme I believe other descriptions could apply; Overview, Review, Refresher and Guide. This now broadens the scope of those who could be interested in the course. Established members in the various fields of the Industry may want an overview or guide to the areas not of their expertise. As an Introduction, the individual sessions can not be in great detail but more of a phrase book content that can be used as a help throughout the Industry. At the end of the course we will now have a 30-minute roundup and question session hosted by three of the Speakers, Paul Kelly, Dawn Skinner and David Helsby, having between them over 110 years of experience in the Radiation Curing Industry. ‘

This course will be given during the RTE Conference & Exhibition 2019 on Tuesday 15 October 2019. Costs are € 350,-. RadTech members get a discount and only pay € 250,- to hear from these industry experts.

RTE Conference 2019: interact, inspire, and innovate

Friday, 03 May 2019 14:52

RadTech Europe (RTE), the European association for UV- and EB-curing technology, is expanding its content for the 2019 RadTech Europe Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for 15 – 16 October 2019 in Munich, Germany.

New in 2019

The conference will introduce several additions to increase interaction, such as new discussion formats and crowd interaction apps, to complement the cutting-edge technological content that the event has been famous for the past 30 years.

The conference and exhibition will be tightly integrated on a single floor, with a business market including poster presentations and new product introductions on the exhibition floor to ensure a high-energy event.

What changes?

The conference will be condensed into a two-day event, providing attendees with a focused program with industry-leading content. A social event will take place the evening prior to the first day. The exhibition has been streamlined to tabletops where sponsors can exhibit their products and meet with their clients and potential new customers.

New additions to the conference programme

On the first day, 15 October, a full-day training on the basics of UV/EB technology will be given by David Helsby, former RTE-president and industry veteran. He will provide a robust introduction to the chemistry, equipment, formulations, value chain and applications for newcomers to the technology.

RTE members pay 250€ for this unique training opportunity, while non-members pay 350€ per delegate. Registration is possible via the regular online registration form.

The conference also includes two specific one-day end-user focused sessions, focusing on food packaging and metal coating respectively. Both sessions can be subscribed to separately and will offer an in-depth look into the latest developments in chemistry, equipment and regulations for that application, as well as the view from brand-owners and converters.

The RadTech Europe Conference & Exhibition is the European industry event for users of radiation curing materials and equipment. The event brings together the entire value chain, from raw material supplier to end-user. Make sure to be a part of it!
