Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) · Richland (Kennewick), WA
Chemicals & Plastics · Mining & Metals · Waste & RecyclingHosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the AVS Science & Technology Society. The summit focuses on secure, sustainable critical mineral supply chains and the research-to-deployment continuum connecting foundational science, applied research, pilot-scale studies, and deployable solutions. Key themes include global-to-local supply chain modeling; challenges, gaps, and opportunities for U.S. leadership; M²US AI-enabled modeling; and data-to-decision pipelines for supply chain forecasting from government, laboratory, and industry perspectives. Extraction and separation topics include interfacial chemistry and transport phenomena, field- and flow-based separation, bio-based and biomimetic approaches, atomic-scale to field-scale separations, recovery from terrestrial, marine, and coastal systems, and recovery from tailings, slags, brines, e-waste, and other unconventional feedstocks. The cross-cutting AI and autonomous science track covers AI for scientific discovery, in situ sensing, autonomous experimentation, and development of an AI-ready critical minerals and materials research ecosystem. Plenary topics include automation-accelerated discovery and process optimization for critical materials research, autonomous molecular discovery for f-elements, critical mineral market modeling, and domestic critical mineral supply estimation.

TUE
American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) · San Antonio, TX
Chemicals & Plastics · Oil & GasDescribed as one of the largest petrochemical events in the world, the conference draws participants from companies across the globe to hear from industry leaders on political, economic and environmental issues facing the petrochemical sector. Sessions include Reflections from the C-Suite with the CEO of BASF Corporation, a TotalEnergies refining and petrochemicals SVP, and Dow's Chief Operating Officer; The Evolving Global Policy Landscape and its Impacts on the Petrochemical Industry; and Supply Chains Under Stress, examining how leaders are responding to global supply disruptions with executives from LyondellBasell, Brenntag North America, and the Economic Alliance Houston Port Region. A workforce-focused session, Shaping Tomorrow: The Petrochemical Workforce and Next-Gen Leaders, addresses talent pipeline challenges. Market analysis sessions include S&P Global's "Petrochemicals: The Phoenix Amid the Flames" and Chemical Market Analytics by OPIS's "Chemical Crossroads: Mapping the Route to 2060." A Women in Industry panel addresses mid-career leadership in the chemical industry, and the International Petrochemical Luncheon features a conversation with former President George W. Bush.
