An overview of what’s happening at the composites industry’s premier event.
Keynote Speaker
On October 27, CAMX officially kicks off with a keynote address from Dr. J. Gary Smyth, executive director of global research and development at General Motors. For the past five years, Smyth has identified global automotive energy trends and addressed energy challenges facing the automotive industry. Some of those solutions include advanced carbon fiber and green composites. Smyth’s CAMX 2015 address will provide a high-level perspective on transformational changes in the automotive industry and include what GM has learned about composites from the evolution of the Corvette.
Exhibit Hall
This year’s 335,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall, open from October 27-29, will feature 550 exhibitors from more than 20 countries. In the Exhibit Hall, attendees have the opportunity to learn about exciting new product developments and network with fellow industry professionals. There will also be pavilions for the CAMX Awards (booth C120) and the Awards for Composites Excellence (ACE) (booth T124).
