For more than three decades, PMA’s technical paper presentations have provided an important industry opportunity to showcase technical developments to industry leaders at the Association’s meetings. Technical papers are chosen for presentation based on their technical content, timeliness of the subject, and relevance to PMA members and the industry. PMA also presents an award to the Best Paper as selected by a representative from each attending company.
