CAMX – The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo, widely considered North America’s premier composites event co-produced by the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE), has announced the speakers for its general session. The session’s CAMX Live! panel, which will open the show Tuesday, December 12, 2017 in Orlando, Fla., will be centered on disruptive innovation – a term generally associated with the creation of new markets or disruptions in existing markets by displacing market leaders.

This year, Boom Technology Aerostructures Engineer Kerry Manning, Composites Building Structures President/CEO James Antonic, and Oracle Team USA Designer Kurt Jordan will be speaking. According to ACMA and SAMPE, these speakers will provide examples of how their companies are creating disruptive innovation in multiple markets by thinking about designing and creating in new ways to make radical changes to products and the industry.

“I believe this year’s General Session illustrates that composites and advanced materials are truly making an impact everywhere you look – in the air, on the ground and across the ocean,” added ACMA President Tom Dobbins. “We want to show that composites aren’t just innovative, they’re essential to developing new technologies that influence positive change in the world.”
