WELCOME

Welcome to the Load Stability Academy site!

Dow and ITENE are looking forward to welcoming you for a day dedicated to load stability and how to move goods safely.

October 24th – Networking Dinner

To get inspired for the event and meet the other participants, we invite you to join us for dinner on October 24th at the emblematic and beautiful resort, Las Arenas. The XIX century building is now a hotel and the location by the beach could not be more inviting for a late afternoon drink (19:00). Local specialties will be served during our dinner as we let the stress of the day fly by.

October 25th - An Engaging Program:

We will hear from experts about the new road transportation norms & legislations and how they are impacting our industry. We will discuss solutions to help you comply with norms and improve load stability, while preventing waste, saving costs, benefiting CO2 emissions’ reduction and contributing to reaching sustainability targets. 

We will get insights on new industry trends and have a panel discussion covering topics that are relevant to you.

And because “seeing is believing”, we invite you to join the cargo stability demonstration, life at ITENE’s transportation simulation center. You will be impressed by the force an industrial film needs to sustain when a truck is speeding, slowing down and breaking. The two real cases we will present, one of which developed in collaboration with Mahou San Miguel, will for sure inspire your future projects. You will see first-hand how cost effective and resource efficient solutions, empowered by Dow technologies, can become a reality.

Space is limited, so please register now! We look forward to seeing you in Valencia!
