About BondCon

The Chemists’ Club launched the Bonding Conference in 2017 as a one-time event, but after its success, held it again in 2018 and 2019. We are very pleased to be returning to this event, which was unfortunately disrupted by COVID-19. Past themes for the Bonding Conference have included Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion, and Digital Innovation, and have featured speakers from various industries such as chemical manufacturing, consulting, consumer products, and more. The presentations are a great opportunity for professionals to hear industry experts discuss the theme of the year.
