Join us for the 2019 SAMPE Carolinas Materials Expo event, bringing together suppliers and customers from the composites industry. The Materials Expo will be held on the hangar deck of the Yorktown aircraft carrier at the Patriots' Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, SC. 

Exhibition fees are $500/space and include an 8 foot table with tablecloth, two (2) complimentary attendee passes and parking passes.

Attendees can enjoy a tour of the WWII-era Yorktown aircraft carrier during the day and an evening of presentations and networking in the exhibition. There will be a light buffet supper with cash bar. 

NEW - Expo attendees are also invited to tour the Clemson Energy Innovation Center and the Hunley Submarine Museum Thursday morning before the Expo.
