The International Composites Summit (ICS) has launched its Call for Papers for the 2025 conference, inviting technical experts, industry leaders, and innovators to submit abstracts by 16 July 2025.
ICS 2025 will take place on 2–3 December 2025 at The Drum at Wembley, London, bringing together global players from across the composites value chain for two days of high-impact presentations, technical exchange, and strategic networking.
With a curated programme focused on sustainability, scalability, and commercial value, ICS invites speakers to share breakthroughs, challenge thinking, and drive discussion on the technologies and strategies shaping the future of advanced materials.
“ICS 2025 is more than a conference – it’s where composites meet capital, innovation meets opportunity, and ideas take flight,” said Katie Homes, ICS Events Manager. “We’re looking for speakers who want to spark change and lead the conversation in the global composites arena.”
