A Sneak Peak at this Year’s Program!

Plan now for the 39th Annual Meeting!Dear Adhesion Society Attendees & Members:

We look forward to welcoming you to the 39th Annual Meeting of the Adhesion Society, to be held February 21-24 in Westin Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. We are pleased to have received more than 200 abstracts for talks in the main technical sessions. This is a significant increase over recent years, so we anticipate an especially vibrant meeting. In addition to the concurrent technical sessions, the meeting will feature three plenary and eighteen keynote presentations, a lively poster session and exhibition, the popular student award symposium, a women’s networking meeting, a planning get-together where you can bring ideas for session topics for the 2017 Annual Meeting, and of course the opportunity to meet and network with colleagues. As always, a panel of experts from our society will teach a short course on “Adhesion Science and Technology” during the two days preceding the main meeting (February 19-20, 2016).

The Program Committee encourages you to make travel plans to attend the 39th Annual Meeting at the Westin Riverwalk in San Antonio.

Please visit www.adhesionsociety.org under Annual Meeting for more information or contact Malinda Armstrong at adhesionsociety@ascouncil.org.

Best regards,

Anand Jagota Ali Dhinojwala Professor, Lehigh University Professor, University of Akron President, Adhesion Society 2016 Program Chair, Adhesion Society

FEbruAry 19-20, 2016 Westin riverwalk, San Antonio HotelThis two day event provides an introduction and overview to a variety of critically important topics in the field of adhesion. Unlike other courses, the goal is not to give comprehensive coverage of the adhesion field, but rather to use the Adhesion Society Annual Meeting to assemble a selected group of our members as instructors that would not otherwise be available in a single course. Each subject is presented by a scientist who is a world leader in that area. This gives the attendees the opportunity to learn from and interact with scientists whose expertise provides a unique view into the history, science and relevance of their topic.

For more detailed information and to register, visit www.adhesionsociety.org under events.

FEbruAry 21-24, 2016Westin riverwalk, San Antonio HotelThe vendor exhibition is integrated with the president’s reception, coffee breaks and poster session, providing high visibility to all meeting attendees.
