PE Showcase '25
The PE Alliance is proud to host the HDPE Pipe Industry of North America in the Sunshine State in this, our ninth year of PE Showcase. The ’24 Showcase in Phoenix was our biggest and best to date and our plan for 2025 is to top last year in content, attendance and networking opportunities. Your HDPE industry colleagues have worked hard on your behalf over the last few months to identify content and perfect it for your benefit.

Thank you to our Platinum Sponsors, WL Plastics, Strongbridge, Modern Polymer Pipe & Extrusions and Pipeline Plastics whose commitment make this event affordable for everyone. WL Plastics has changed it up this year. Instead of sponsoring Poly Feud they are sponsoring the various contractors who are headlining this year’s installation focused program. What a great idea! The team from Strongbridge is back again sponsoring the popular Showcase Hall and a Wednesday wine dinner up the street from the hotel. Things kick off on Wednesday afternoon with some craft beers and networking in the Hall. New to the Platinum ranks this year is the team from Modern Polymer Pipe & Extrusions who are sponsoring the beverage mugs for the first 100 people to check in with Emma! Mike Leathers and his Pipeline Plastics team are hosting the Showcase Dinner on Thursday night at the beach. This is the only night we ask everyone to not schedule other events as it is always a wonderful Showcase event.
