The 2024 edition of the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX), scheduled for Sept. 9-12 in San Diego, California, marks 10 years since North America’s largest composites industry trade show and conference first launched its inaugural event in 2014.
CAMX 2024, co-hosted by the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA, Arlington, Va., U.S.) and the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE, Diamond Bar, Calif., U.S.), will be held at the San Diego Convention Center. Conference presentations will take place Sept. 9-12, with the show floor open from Sept. 10-12.
Keynote speaker
Kicking off Tuesday, Sept. 10 will be a General Session featuring keynote speaker Maurice Conti.
