POLYCON Kansas City 2019 was a great event! The 5th annual event broke records with both attendance and sponsorships. Over 200 people attended and close to 20 sponsors exhibiting at the event. SEE PHOTOS of POLYCON below.

For the first time, the plant demonstrations were held on the Wednesday of POLYCON. The Polynt Application Center hosted the event. Interest in attending the demos was so great that the event had to be split into two sessions! See photos from the plant demonstrations below.

Also new this year to POLYCON was the Cast Polymer CCT certification program training. This 3 hour course was offered on Thursday morning at no additional cost to ICPA members and over 40 people took the course.

POLYCON had a solid programming Agenda – The general session and exhibit floor as well as the networking receptions were held at the Sheraton Overland Park at the Convention Center. ICPA President Luke Haas gave an association update, Sean Jacobs reported that the membership had grown to over 100 members, and Dirk De Vuyst gave the financial update stating that the association was stronger than ever with over a half-million dollars in an investment account. Keynote Speaker Lisa Ryan gave a fun and informative presentation on Manufacturing Engagement and Platinum and Gold sponsors gave the audience overviews on their products and services. The afternoon was filled with breakout sessions, workshops and round table discussions. See Photos Below.

Also on Thursday, the attendees enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner and celebrated the year with association awards. Click Here for a listing of all the award winners at POLYCON!
