Education Outside the Classroom

ChemEdge provides a variety of opportunities to learn through both classroom training and hands-on experience. These opportunities include:

Poster Sessions

In addition to the classroom sessions this year, the Conference will introduce our attendees to Poster Session displays on the Expo show floor. These displays will illustrate effective processes, procedures, innovation and research in the following areas:

  • Transportation & Logistics
  • Security
  • Community Outreach

Attendees will have time to view the poster displays during the Exhibit Hall hours on Wednesday and Thursday mornings to ask questions of the Poster Session authors to learn more.

If your company is interested in presenting a poster, please contact Matt Glaser at 571-482-3043 or mglaser@nacd.com.

Facility Tour

The local Facility Tour provides attendees the hands-on opportunity to learn from a peer or industry expert. This year's facility tour will take place at Brenntag Mid-South's Lancaster facility.

Warehouse Pavilion

The  Expo Hall with also feature a Warehouse Pavilion filled with Affiliates of NACD to talk with you about maximizing your distribution channel through third-party warehousing. The Pavilion is a chance to highlight the great services our Affiliates can provide and to assist distributor members in finding new partners and/or to enhance your current relationships. Each warehouse will be offered a table-top space in a unique space in the heart of our Exhibit Hall.

Interested? Contact Roselle Foley at rfoley@nacd.com or 571-482-3041.
