Any Composites Trade Shows in My Area?

Being a (virtually) self-taught composites hobbiest, I would LOVE to go to a show to see what is in the industry. I live in Wisconsin, though. Does anything come to Milwaukee, Chicago, or the Twin Cities?

My buddy went to some wood working show a few years ago and they had a tutorial on vacuum bagging carbon fibre. I would give so much to go to something like that.

Any clues?

June 7-8 High Performance Fibers 2006 in Arlington, Va.

Chicago always has a major Plastics show but mostly Thermoplastics like injection molding and the like…but you never know what exhibits are there until you get there…

Thank you for the info. I’m going to ask my Solid Modeling instructor if he knows anything about the plastics shows. He works at a plastic injecting place.

Am I reading this right? Is the High Performance Fibers show charging over $1,000 just to attend? The trade shows in the construction industry only charge $30-$60…

Yes, but that is for the full seminars…ask them what it might costs just for the exhibits only…?

Chicago will be at McCormack hall…calll them for a listing of trade shows maybe?
