March 1-4 JW Marriott Summerlin, Nev.

Plastics News Executive Forum 2009 will convene just weeks after the Obama administration assumes control in Washington, and less than four months before the huge, triennial NPE trade show in Chicago. It promises to be turbulent times still for plastics processors and their suppliers and customers, only magnifying executives' need for quality, reliable business intelligence about markets, materials and the economy.

Over the past decade PN's Forum has established a reputation for delivering such information, in an informal, relaxed atmosphere that includes the best networking opportunities in the industry.

The 2009 program will focus strongly on the financial aspects of managing a plastics operation, from accessing capital and managing debt, to protecting your company from the ripple effects of having vendors or customers go bankrupt. Gain insights into merger/acquisition and materials pricing trends, as well as managerial best practices for gaining a competitive advantage via sustainability initiatives, resin buying strategies and the like.
