High-level technical abstracts are being solicited across adhesive and sealant markets, technologies, and chemistries. Submitters can select from one of the suggested topics below to assist the programming committee to track sessions of related topics or submit a topic of high interest to our industry.

Criteria for Acceptance:

High level technical or business development topics without any commercial/promotional content; any abstracts that contain tradenames in title, description or abstract will not be considered.  All resulting presentations must be original, first time published, highlighting recent work.

Speaking opportunities at ASC 2025 conference will be competitive. Abstracts are expected to clearly describe the advancements made and importance to industry, with high level technical content beyond common knowledge. All abstracts submitted are peer reviewed by ASC’s technical programming committee. The top-rated candidates will be invited to speak on or before January 16th.
