After two postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Adhesives and Sealants Conference 2022 (WAC 2022) was held in April. More than 1,250 industry professionals from 26 countries had the opportunity to meet in Chicago, make meaningful connections and create opportunities for long-term growth.
It was a really eventful few days, starting with the Hot Melt Intensive Course and the Emerging Leaders Workshop on Monday. The official opening ceremony of WAC 2022, the reception for new members and attendees, the Taste of Chicago reception and the cabaret night at the casino were also held during the afternoon and evening on Monday.
On Wednesday morning, attendees had the opportunity to participate in the ASC Gives Back community service project, and technical sessions were again held throughout the day. WAC 2022 said goodbye in style at the Closing Ceremony with a Great Gatsby-themed Gala Dinner on Wednesday night.
The ASC is known for providing attendees with insights from industry leaders through dynamic keynotes, and WAC 2022 was no exception. During the breakfasts and lunches, as well as at the opening ceremony, leading executives shared their thoughts on the trends, opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
WAC 2026 will be held in London, England. For more information on WAC 2022, including the final program, presentations from many of the technical sessions and photo gallery, visit www.wac2022.org.
