AZL’s five workgroup topics: Circular Design & Production, Future Mobility, Hybrid Thermoplastic Composites, Composites in Pipes & Vessels, and Composites in Buildings & Infrastructure will continue to serve as platforms for in-depth discussions on technological innovations, market trends, and research advancements. Based on feedback from our network, 2026 will feature a mix of on-site/hybrid meetings for live demos and networking, as well as purely online meetings for maximum accessibility.
