International Rubber Conference Organisation

IRCO is an association of rubber societies from around the world which plan the calendar for the annual International Rubber Conference (IRC). By careful selection of conference proposals from IRCO member organisation and monitoring of events, the IRCO ensures that all conferences run by its member societies meet the very demanding requirements dictated by the IRCO and thus have been providing delegates with first-class conferences since 1966.

IRC

International Rubber Conference

The "International Rubber Conference" (IRC), recognized as the world's most prestigious conference on Rubber Technologies and Innovation, is one of the leading scientific organizations in the chemical industry. Researchers, business leaders, and industry experts come together for the event, creating a cutting-edge platform for sharing the most up-to-date information about innovative materials and applications in the sector. Participants establish a network to follow the latest developments and trends in the industry from the perspectives of sustainability, R&D, innovation, and manufacturing technologies. Since 1966, IRC has been held annually in a different country, a member of the IRCO union.
