For three days, the global adhesives and sealants community will be in London. Nowhere else in 2026 will you find such a concentration of manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, customers, researchers and industry leaders from across the value chain.
The technical programme will provide insights into the latest developments shaping the industry. Equally important, however, are the opportunities to meet the people behind those developments. The WAC2026 Welcome Cocktail and Conference Dinner are more than social gatherings; they are where international connections are made, partnerships are strengthened and ideas are exchanged in a more informal setting.

The WAC2026 Welcome Cocktail provides the perfect setting to reconnect with colleagues, meet new contacts and begin conversations that can lead to future collaborations and business opportunities.
We are particularly proud that this event is sponsored by DOW, a company with 129 years of innovation and leadership. The support of a global industry leader such as DOW reflects the importance of WAC2026 as a platform where the international adhesives and sealants community comes together to exchange ideas, discuss challenges and opportunities, and help reshape the future of our industry.
