EVENT PREVIEW
Savannah welcomes Chemicals America
Specialty & Agro Chemicals America returns to one of the US’ s most beautiful cities in June
Specialty & Agro Chemicals America, also known as Chemicals America, takes place once again in Savannah, Georgia, on 16-18 June 2026. As before, the events will be split across the Westin Savannah Resort and the adjacent Savannah Convention Centre.
The show seeks to connect suppliers and customers by delivering a lowercost networking opportunity than can be had at exhibitions. It has grown on the back of the‘ reshoring’ trend, further strengthened by the advance of new applications involving the high-technology, high-value end of the market, most of which is served by domestic suppliers.
Part of Chemicals America’ s value proposition is the informal tabletop exhibit format and a flat badge registration fee($ 460 / person up to 22 May, thereafter $ 485). This includes full access to all of the features listed below. You can register to attend at: https:// register. chemicalsamerica. com / 2026 / step-1-prelim.
The exhibitor base is exclusively made up of those with significant manufacturing, service or sales operations in North America. The focus of the show is on products and technologies with specific applications for the agrochemical and speciality chemical markets. Exhibitors offer services in such areas as:
• Speciality & fine chemical manufacturing
• Agrochemical actives, intermediates & inerts
• Custom chemical & toll manufacturing
• Chemical toll processing & formulation services
