About the Conference
CompositesWorld’s Carbon Fiber 2020 conference will provide an objective, comprehensive forum to discuss new developments for carbon fibers in emerging industrial markets, such as wind energy, marine, and construction, as well as in traditional markets, such as aerospace and sporting goods. Discussions will focus on methods to streamline manufacturing costs in both industrial and aerospace applications and the outlook for consumption in markets with significant potential for growth.
You'll make invaluable contacts at the 2020 Carbon Fiber Conference.
Thank you to the Carbon Fiber 2019 Conference Chairs
