PE Showcase '24


The PE Alliance is proud to host the HDPE Industry of North America in the Grand Canyon State in this, our eighth year of PE Showcase. The program in Dallas last year was both well received and well attended. This year, we bring back the Deep Dive programs and the regular sessions to rival any other HDPE educational event ever conducted. A team of industry experts has worked over the course of the last few months to identify content and perfect it for your benefit. In fact, we have several new sessions to maintain the interest of veterans and less experienced folk alike. We also offer fusion training so a member of your team can spend the day in training and walk out with either a butt fusion or an EF fusion card!

Thank you to our sponsors who make this event affordable for everyone. The sponsor block is anchored by WL Plastics, Strongbridge and Pipeline Plastics. The team from Strongbridge is sponsoring Showcase Hall where things officially kick off on Wednesday afternoon with some craft beers and networking in the Hall.  Strongbridge has also brought back foosball which was well received last year in Dallas. Wednesday evening sees our first of two social events where Pipeline is sponsoring the Showcase dinner at the beautiful Different Point of View Restaurant. Thank you to Mike Leathers and his team. WL Plastics is hosting the after dinner festivities that same Thursday night up at the Different Point of View Terrace.  Josh Cottle and his team will be on hand with a Poly Feud team!
