More than 1,200 attendants are expected for the ninth CESIO World Surfactant Congress from June 10-12, 2013 in Barcelona. The organizers of the ninth CESIO World Surfactant Congress bring together all expectations under the theme "Surfactants Today and Tomorrow - Mapping the Megatrends."
Nearly all products, which are used in aqueous solution, contain surfactants as solubilizer. This imparts an enormous application variability to surfactants, e.g. in detergents and cleaning agents, waterborne lacquers, cosmetics, as auxiliaries for the textile industry and even as additives for road construction.
In addition to the scientific issues, the extensive programme of the event goes more deeply into aspects of use and business. Thus, the organisers give important thought-provoking impulses to a wide public: Scientists, producers of starting material and finished products and also representatives of legislatorial institutions, they all get the chance for information and close dialogue about the most recent trends by the "Business Convention" concept. The new biennial rotation makes it easier to keep in touch about special topics, such as harmonisation of the contents of product labels or the generation of standard basis data as criteria for the "carbon footprint."
The Congress will also take into account the different consumer behaviors of emerging countries, such as Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Thomas Greindl, CESIO president, points out: "The choice of Barcelona as the event location signals our opening towards Latin America. We would like to interest more guests from Brazil and other emerging regions for the event, because anyhow it will be about their future, their chances for development."
