Events for June 18, 2026

The SPE Extrusion Optimization TopCon, taking place June 16–18, 2026 at the Holiday Inn Montreal–Longueuil, is a technical conference dedicated to improving single‑ and twin‑screw extrusion operations across all industries. Hosted by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Extrusion Division, the event focuses on extrusion theory, boundary‑condition management, and process optimization to enhance throughput, product quality, and manufacturing consistency. Attendees will engage with experts through keynote presentations, technical sessions, and discussions covering melt temperature and pressure control, screw and die design, mixing efficiency, torque and mass‑transfer behavior, upstream and downstream technologies, and advanced CAE tools. The program also integrates topics such as real‑time monitoring, controls architecture, system integration, and maintenance strategies aimed at elevating extrusion performance.
