Each evening features a dynamic program beginning with a Big Idea Opening Presentation, followed by a Networking Reception and Poster Exhibition, technical talks, and two concurrent panel discussions. Sessions will explore emerging applications, evolving market drivers, advances in materials and process innovation, and the policies and supply-chain forces influencing global adoption of UV+EB technologies. Topics include next-generation coatings, sustainable and recyclable materials, photopolymer innovation, photoinitiator challenges and opportunities, lightweight and high-performance systems, additive manufacturing, and the shifting landscape of EPR regulations shaping packaging markets worldwide.

Focusing on themes of efficiency, durability, innovation, precision, safety, and versatility, BIG IDEAS 2026 offers a forward-looking forum to examine how UV+EB enabled curing technologies are transforming modern manufacturing. From automotive and aerospace to robotics, packaging, electronics, and next-generation materials, the conference provides a unique environment for cross-industry exchange and exploration of the technologies, markets, and challenges shaping the future of UV+EB innovation.
