IPBS RETURNS IN 2021
As a result of feedback from the community, and at the guidance of the State of Illinois, we have again made the difficult decision to adjust the structure of the International Powder & Bulk Solids Conference and Exhibition (iPBS).
- The iPBS Conference will still take place during the April 27-29, 2021 dates however, in an immersive virtual format. This adjustment allows delegates ease of access and cost containment while providing the rich technical education that has come to be expected within this conference.
- The iPBS Exhibition will now take place August 24-26, 2021 at the same location — the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. The in-person event will showcase enriched educational content prominently featured from Center Stage, building upon subjects and solutions covered in the April Digital Conference experience.
- The next in the series of The Powder Show Digital Flow, a series designed to engage our powder bulk & solids processing community, is scheduled for February 18. To learn more and register for this free event, please click here.
We hope to see you at The Powder Show Digital Flow in February, the iPBS Digital Conference in April and together again during the iPBS Exhibition in August!
Join Us February 18, 2021 for the Next Powder Show Digital Flow Event!
The #1 Processing Event in North America
For more than four decades, members of the powder and bulk solids processing community have been gathering in Rosemont, IL — just outside of Chicago — to share ideas, innovations, and products.
The biennial International Powder & Bulk Solids Conference & Exhibition — commonly known as The Powder Show — welcomes 3,000+ industry professionals and 425+ suppliers at North America's largest powder and bulk solids technology event.
Be part of this long-standing tradition — join suppliers and decision makers from all 50 states and more than 30 countries in Rosemont.
"The Powder Show offers incredible networking opportunities, cutting-edge technologies, and amazing options for suppliers. It’s an all-in-one stop for anyone in the powder business."
