Invites you to the

VENUE
The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering
Invites you to the
ICheaP-12 International Conference on Chemical & Process Engineering will be held in
Milano, Centro Congressi Stella Polare at Fieramilano (Rho Pero) – from 19 to 22 May,
2015.
JOINTLY WITH
IPACK-IMA is among the most attractive global
exhibitions for suppliers of technology and materials
for processing and packaging, as it is capable of
giving room, voice and momentum to all industry
players.
The leading exhibition for processing and packaging
technology will be held in conjunction with MeatTech - Processing & Packaging for the Meat Industry;
Fruitech Innovation - the show dedicated to
technology innovation in the fruit and vegetable
industry; Dairytech - the first exhibition for the
processing and packaging of the dairy industry;
Converflex - specializing in package printing and
converting technology; and Grafitalia - showcasing
the printing, graphic design and communication
industry. Also the industry of logistics and material
handling technology will also be represented
at Intralogistica Italia.
In addition to its co-location with 7 international trade
exhibitions, IPACK-IMA 2015 will also be held jointly
with the EXPO, the Universal Exposition raising
strong interest worldwide taking place from May to
October. IPACK-IMA is the only exhibition recognized
by the Expo as Italy’s leading event in processing and
packaging technology for the food and non-food
industry.
The venue is located next to Expo 2015 site and offers the most modern and functional
exhibition spaces. Fiera Milano boasts an unique experience in the organization and
management of professional exhibitions and congresses and in the full range of specialized
services needed by the trade fair business.
Fieramilano can be reached from Milan by the subway (Red line 1), which has its terminus at
the fairgrounds; but it is easily accessible from any location in Italy or abroad: it enjoys the
strategic location of Milan in the European network of air, road and railway connections.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
ICheaP-12 is the twelfth event in a series of biannual events started in 1993 with "the first
International Conference on Chemical and Process Engineering" organized by AIDIC, the
Italian Association of Chemical Engineering.
It is expected, then, that the continuous participation of the past years will be maintained and
enhanced also in this event. AIDIC so far continues to invite all the international specialists to
see this event as an opportunity to exchange up-to-the minute information on industrial
needs, new technology developments and research opportunities. The previous events
attracted leading Industrialists and Academics from all over the world and provided a state of
the art on Chemical and Process Engineering.
Conference Participation confirmed the International character and appeal reached by
ICheaP-Series and demonstrated the need of having a permanent forum and record of
International R&D activities.
ICheaP12 is organized in Milano during EXPO2015, a universal exposition addressed to the
main strategic objectives: “Feed the Planet and Energy for Life”. EXPO2015 will last from May
to October and will attract a worldwide participation that will provide visibility to the tradition,
the creativity and innovation in food industry and in new global food scenarios.
ICheaP12 will be jointly organized on occasion of IPACK-IMA an international fair on the
technologies for food processing and packaging. The synergic relation with IPACK-IMA will
contribute to the organization of sessions addressed to food losses control and to the
definition of new targets on high standard level of food safety.
So ICheaP12, in line with EXPO2015 objectives and favouring the IPACK-IMA themes, will call
experts to provide answers and to define solutions to those thematic subjects with proper
sessions and keynote presentations.
It is therefore evident that joining ICheaP12, on occasion of EXPO2015 and IPACK-IMA, is an
unique opportunity that gives to the event participants a world wide open window and an
extraordinary opportunity to favor contacts and enlarge visibility
