offered to all attendees. Do something different. Make this your objective and we can almost
promise this show can increase your success and network.
We have some exciting new things taking place at IEC this year!

OPENING CEREMONY & KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Opening Ceremony & Keynote Address
Tuesday, Oct. 17; 9 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Ballroom C; Ballroom Level
Join us as we kick-off the International Elastomer Conference with a short welcome from our
Chair followed by the Keynote Address.
Keynote Speaker:
Frank A. Davis; President & CEO of The Horizon Group Of Companies
Frank Davis is President & Chief Executive Officer of the Horizon Group of Companies
headquartered in Birmingham Alabama, one of the largest diversity owned businesses in
Alabama, and CIBIC Incorporated, a continuous improvement focused management consulting
and training business. During his twenty plus-year tenure as a President & CEO, Frank has led
both Horizon and CIBIC to high levels of success; leading Horizon from a zero-revenue startup
to a well-recognized historical nine figure provider of process, project and material services
to the automotive, utility, institutional, federal, and state business segments and turning CIBIC
into an up and coming thought leader in continuous improvement. Frank’s academic credentials
include a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from Bucknell University with
distinction, a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Alabama
at Birmingham, along with an Executive Program Certificate from the Tuck School of Business at
Dartmouth.
Keynote Address:
Building Order From Chaos To Jumpstart Excellence
Keynote Speaker:
Frank A. Davis;
President & CEO
The Horizon Group Of
Companies
Businesses, institutions and their rising professionals and managers are being increasingly challenged by our ever-evolving world:
a world full of occasional chaos and recurring uncertainty. Some people tout AI, autonomy, open-source intelligence (OSINT)
and other human intelligence substitutes as a solution, but our declining societal IQ trends are beginning to paint a different
picture. While the pursuit of excellence remains the goal for most and the road to the American Dream for many, that excellence
is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve and maintain for a number of reasons. While our professional skill sets generally aid
us in our quest to succeed, those skill sets can be rendered ineffective, inefficient or improper when paired with faulty or flawed
cognitive (thought) models. Building Order From Chaos To Jumpstart Excellence is an interactive experience designed to elevate
attendees to new cognitive heights by exposing them to a recently released highly condensed cognitive primer that promotes the
pursuit of excellence for themselves and those who they touch in a new and exciting way.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
BADGE SWAPPING & REPRINT POLICY
Each registrant will be issued an individual badge. Badge swapping or badge sharing is not permitted. Violations of this policy will
result in cancelation of the registration without refund.
Badge Reprint Policy - Attendees are advised to keep their badge in a safe place during the conference.
• 1st Badge Reprint: Upon proper identification and confirmation of registration payment, a duplicate badge is issued.
• 2nd Badge Reprint: All additional reprints will be at full cost of the registrant’s registration fee. No exceptions.
*This only applies to expo only registrations. Technical Meeting registrants must pay full price for ANY badge reprints.
LITERATURE & PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION
Promotions, posters, signs and literature distribution by attendees, exhibitors or other groups during the conference/expo must
be done within their own contracted meeting space or exhibit booth and not in public meeting space or areas – at the convention
center or in the hotels, with the exception of designated
marketing opportunities secured previously with Rubber Division,
ACS. Items left in violation of this policy will be removed and
discarded.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO RECORDING
Video recording, live video recording, streaming or
photographing any portion of the expo, technical presentations,
educational courses is strictly prohibited. Violators of this
policy will be asked to leave and will not be allowed back into
the conference. Press, if credentialed by the Division, may take

TIPS FOR A SAFE STAY IN CLEVELAND
• Don’t wear your meeting badge outside the convention
center or hotels.
• Don’t leave valuables in your hotel room. Use a hotel safe
deposit box.
• Walk in open well-lit areas at night. Travel in groups. Don’t
be a loner, particularly in the evening.
• Use common sense. If someone or someplace looks
suspicious, report it and/or avoid it.
• If an emergency occurs during a meeting event, report
emergencies to the nearest security guard or to any Rubber
Division, ACS staff member.
• Should a catastrophic event occur while the meeting is
under way, follow safety and security instructions issued by
the facility where you are located at the time of the event.
