ITPS Americas – thermoprocessing experts meet in Chicago Every four years, thermprocessing specialists meet in

Düsseldorf at the leading global trade show, THERM-PROCESS, to exchange opinions on technological and industrial innovations. The International Thermprocess Summit – Americas (ITPS Americas), tying in with this trade fair, offers a complementary platform for informa-tion interchange as well as for meetings between industry specialists from August 10-12 at the Loews Chicago Hotel in downtown Chicago.

Organized & sponsored by the Industrial Heating Equip-ment Association (IHEA) in cooperation with media partner, Industrial Heating magazine, this first time event been developed specifically for executives from OEMs and indus-try suppliers to discuss relevant strategic topics affecting our industry. The event is powered by our European part-ners including Messe Düsseldorf, CECOF, heat processing magazine and VDMA.

“We’re very pleased to offer this opportunity for execu-tive management within the thermal processing industry in the Americas,” states Anne Goyer, IHEA’s Executive Vice President. “The industry needs this type of leadership event in the Americas. There isn’t any other programme like it for

our industry. With the high quality speakers and topics on our agenda, we know this will be a very valuable programme for executives from North to Central and South America.”

The Summit will begin with a Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening, followed by two days of presenta-tions, a tabletop exhibition and a taste of Chicago dinner. The networking opportunities will be plentiful with the programme content having mass appeal. Topics presented will include sessions on: Policies impacting thermal pro-cesses; technological advancements & their impact on the thermal process industries; economic updates from around the world; and market segment trends. Please review our complete programme included in this supplement and plan now to join us in August for our first ITPS Americas.

The organizers have pulled together an outstanding group of speakers and presentations that will deliver high level content to thermal process executives. You won’t want to miss anything from the opening keynote to the closing presentation from one of Illinois’ sharpest political minds and most-respected talk show radio personalities. Here is the programme as of April 8, 2016. Check the website for late additions to the programme: www.itps-americas.com
